Leveraging fresh data and tech talent to improve government processes

The Data Fellows Program helps City agencies use data more effectively by introducing analytic and technical talent. Baltimore City government benefits from enthusiastic, early-career professionals with modern tech tools, while data fellows establish a portfolio and career pathway into public service. The program began in October 2019 with the majority of alumni staying with Baltimore City government for their next career move.

There are currently two data fellows with OPI supporting projects in other agencies. OPI also provides support for data fellows, interns, and data professionals in other Baltimore City agencies.
