Online Training
R Programming for Beginners: Using Data Science for Economic and Workforce Development Researchers

Online
Training

This is a two week course, with live instruction M-W-F from 3:00-5:00 PM Eastern Time.

Are you sick and tired of manually manipulating data in excel? Are you interested in learning one of the most popular FREE (i.e., open source) data science programming languages out there? C2ER’s Introduction to R workshop will provide a complete crash course on the full data science workflow from cleaning and wrangling to visualization, modeling, and repeatable reporting. Two RStudio Certified Tidyverse Instructors will cover the essentials of popular R packages including ggplot2, tidyr, dplyr, tidymodels, and rmarkdown.

Code will be made available to attendees via RStudio Cloud prior to and following this hands-on-keyboard session, allowing beginner level users to dive right in and revisit materials after training. No programming experience is required for the workshop, however interested attendees are encouraged to explore the online book “R for Data Science” which can be found at https://r4ds.had.co.nz/ . The curriculum will also be tailored to the C2ER and LMI Institute audience, including economics focused modeling content.
