Program Overview: What is Open Data, Data Sharing and Government Data Governance?
Open Data, Data Sharing & Government Data Governance is Edstellar's instructor-led program for government data stewards, legal teams, and digital officials managing public data responsibly. Participants learn open data policy, data cataloguing and metadata, data sharing agreements, governance and stewardship, and privacy with lawful sharing. The program builds the governance backbone that safe data sharing needs.
Training works through real government data scenarios. Participants catalogue datasets with proper metadata, draft data sharing agreements between agencies, and set up stewardship models with clear ownership in guided workshops. Instructors coach teams on lawful sharing, privacy reviews, and governing data quality over time, reviewing every document with direct feedback. The program closes with a capstone where each team builds a complete open data program.
Agencies hesitate to share data because nobody owns the risk: unclear agreements, no stewardship, privacy decisions made ad hoc. This program teaches teams to share data lawfully and confidently, with agreements, stewards, and privacy controls in place. Data sharing becomes routine collaboration instead of a legal standoff.
The capstone is a complete open data program build with a governance spine: a catalogued data inventory, draft data sharing agreements between agencies, a stewardship model naming owners and quality routines, and a lawful-sharing review process covering privacy and security. Your team takes back a program where open data and governed data are the same thing.
Six modules and 24 hours: open data foundations, cataloguing and metadata, sharing agreements, data governance and stewardship, privacy and security, and a capstone where your team builds a working open data program with a governance playbook. Every module pairs live instruction with guided hands-on labs, so skills transfer straight to day-to-day work.

Teams that Benefit from this Open Data, Data Sharing and Government Data Governance Group Training
This group training is built for government teams who publish, share, or govern public data. Content adapts to each cohort's role and experience, so every team practices the workflows it actually owns.
