Indiana MPH offers Data Proficiency Program for state employees
With the ever-increasing importance on data-driven decision making for state agencies to serve Hoosiers, it is important to create a culture of data proficiency across the state.
The collection, organization and analysis of data is a part of all state employees’ daily activities. From entering customer information to monitoring weather conditions to managing budgets, data drives operations for all agencies. Quality data input and analysis at every level impacts the quality of insights we can derive. Much like the acquisition and maintenance of physical assets, increasing the awareness of the impact of data empowers our agency to better support our customers.
The Management Performance Hub, the state’s data agency, is ready to help employees across the state understand their role in data and to skill-up. We have created a statewide data proficiency program, available April 1 in SuccessFactors, that engages employees at all knowledge levels and shows how data impacts all of our jobs every day.
The short lessons explain data concepts with simple, real-life scenarios. Please be sure to treat this as any other state-issued training and take the time to review the material.

About the Data Proficiency Program
The Indiana Management Performance Hub strives to help employees across the state understand their role with data and to skill-up. We also want to give you a little something for your efforts. We've created three Data Proficiency Program Badges: Level 1 - Green, Level 2 - Blue and Level 3 – Gold and each are their own module/course to be completed in SuccessFactors. Each of the levels contains about five or six lessons and there is a quiz offered at the end which is the badge-earning opportunity.
Once you complete the course and receive your badge, we encourage you to promote this on your internal SharePoint or Teams pages within your agency or maybe on LinkedIn.
The content and quizzes that were hosted on the MPH website are no longer available. Employees can now complete the training in Success Factors. If you've completed the training already, you will receive credit for the badges you've completed in your learning history after transition. Check our FAQs below for more information.
- What score must I achieve on a particular quiz to earn a badge?
- What if I don’t pass the quiz? Can I take it again?
- What should I do with my badge?
- If I completed the Data Proficiency Program outside of SuccessFactors, will I need to retake it to receive credit?
- Where can I find the content if I’m not a state government employee or don’t have access to SuccessFactors?
