Carruthers and Jackson and Corndel Announce Strategic Partnership to Bridge Data Skills Gap

(EMEA) Carruthers and Jackson, the global data consultancy, and Corndel, an award-winning strategic skills and development company, have today announced a strategic partnership. The two organisations will work together to help joint customers bridge the data literacy skills gap and drive digital transformation through workplace training and industry expertise.

Corndel specialises in delivering tailored development programmes in leadership, business change, data and technology to some of the UK's largest companies. The company empowers both employees and organisations with crucial leadership, data, and technology skills that are essential for success in the workplace. Renowned for its high-quality data apprenticeships, Corndel is dedicated to advancing professional development across industries.

"In today's fast-paced technology landscape, achieving digital fluency is more crucial than ever. Alongside Carruthers and Jackson, our belief is that this is all about empowering people with the skills needed to thrive," added James Kelly, Corndel CEO. “We are excited to strategically partner with Carruthers and Jackson and look forward to jointly solving data challenges for organisations.”

Corndel will be a strategic data skills partner to Carruthers and Jackson, as the teams work together to address the significant data literacy challenges faced by organisations in the era of artificial intelligence (AI). The companies will offer a platform to enable data leaders to connect and share ideas, with co-branded research, exclusive whitepapers, and networking opportunities delivered to collectively address the data skills gap within their organisations. The partnership will also include Imperial College Business School, who have been working together with Corndel to transform leadership and management skills in the UK workforce since 2021. Carruthers and Jackson enhance the initiative by bringing data expertise to a team that already includes the academic excellence of a world-leading business school and the expertise of the country’s leading professional apprenticeship provider.

"We are thrilled to announce our strategic, data industry partnership with Corndel, a company which shares our passion for the positive impact improved data literacy can have across every organisation," said Caroline Carruthers, CEO of Carruthers and Jackson. "This collaboration is an opportunity to combine our complementary strengths and address the data challenges organisations are facing head-on. Together, we're committed to driving meaningful change within organisations."

Corndel will be returning to sponsor this year’s Carruthers and Jackson’s Summer School for Data Leaders, providing CDO’s and data professionals with an unparalleled learning and networking experience. With the help of sponsors like Corndel, the free online course aims to provide future data leaders with the practical real-life skills and tools needed to succeed in the data industry today.
