DaMSSI project delivers career profiles and RDM training recommendations

The JISC/RIN-funded Data Management Skills Support Initiative (DaMSSI), in collaboration with DCC, has now completed its work.  DaMSSI produced a series of five career profiles that aim to demonstrate how data management skills contribute to and underpin high-quality performance in a number of professions. 

These profiles can be helpful for:
. illustrating potential career paths for both undergraduate and graduate programmes;
. promoting professional development training courses;
. engaging with professional bodies.  

Professions covered by the series so far include:
. Conservators;
. Social Science Researchers;
. Archaeologists;
. Clinical Psychologists;
. Data Managers.

The profiles are available on the RIN website at

and the DCC website at
http://www.dcc.ac.uk/training/data-management-courses-and-training/career-profiles.  

DCC and RIN are keen to expand the series and welcome suggestions for additional professions we might explore.  If you would like to help us to highlight the role of data management and curation for your profession, please email JLIB_HTML_CLOAKING .

Both URLs provided above also contain more information about the DaMSSI project, including plan and final report.  The final report contains a number of recommendations which will be of interest to those planning postgraduate research data management training.  We hope these will prove useful to further work in this area.
