DataWorks is a unique data services provider.

DataWorks recruits young people from communities historically minoritized in computing and employs them as data wranglers.

Through DataWorks, we hope to broaden participation in computing, and in the process, foster diverse approaches to data science, support equitable labor practices, and develop just forms of engagement between universities and communities.

Income generated from contract-based projects from non-profit, government, and for-profit organizations helps sustain DataWorks. The data workers are hired as Georgia Tech employees with benefits and are paid hourly. Faculty and students do not receive compensation from our contract-based work.

Initial funding for DataWorks was graciously provided by the Constellations Center for Equity in Computing, in College of Computing at the Georgia Institute of Technology. In 2020, we were awarded a grant from the National Science Foundation, Smart and Connected Communities program to support research into DataWorks as a novel platform for engaged scholarship.

If you have basic data work that needs to be done, we can do it. And you can be confident the work is being done in an ethical manner. DataWorks is a just and responsible workplace.
