Data can feel like paperwork that goes into a folder and never comes back. Whether or not someone enters data themselves, every role in a program is shaped by it: who gets served, what gets funded, and what gets noticed. This two-hour, root-level training gives providers a shared foundation for understanding why data matters and how to capture simple, accurate data. Participants work through hands-on, interactive activities rather than lecture and leave with practical next steps they can apply directly to their program.
