Build Data Skills Where You Work Modern research, teaching, and professional practice increasingly rely on data and computational skills. Yet many people are asked to work with code, data, and collaborative technologies without formal training. The Carpentries helps address this gap. Through hands-on workshops, Instructor training, and collaborative lesson development, our global community supports organisations in building practical skills for working with data and code while fostering a culture of open, reproducible research.
What does The Carpentries actually do?
We help researchers build practical data and computational skills and we train people to teach those skills to others.
That approach has helped grow a global community:

Our impact starts with people. Behind every Carpentries workshop is a community of Instructor Trainers, Instructors, Maintainers, and many other contributors working together to build data and computational skills worldwide. ๐
Instructor Trainers prepare new Instructors in evidence-based teaching practices. Those Instructors then teach workshops that reach hundreds of learners. Thatโs the multiplier effect at the heart of The Carpentries.

Our People, Our Impact The impact of The Carpentries has always been rooted in people. Across universities, research institutes, libraries, and organisations around the world, community members are working together to build capacity for teaching foundational data and computational skills. At the center of this work are the people who teach, maintain, and build community around the programs that make our workshops possible. They then go on to introduce The Carpentries to other individuals at their institutions and empower them with the same skills. This is where the multiplier effect begins - one of the main benefits of an institutional Partnership with the Carpentries.
