The Government of Canada’s Digital Talent Strategy defines a long-term vision for attracting, developing, and retaining digital talent.

We define digital talent as people who work in digital disciplines. They have the skills and experience in fields including but not limited to:

  • Software development
  • Development operations
  • Data, analytics and artificial intelligence/machine learning
  • User experience research and design
  • Technical architecture
  • Security engineering
  • Product management
  • Digital leadership
  • And many, many more domains

They typically work in multidisciplinary teams, require modern tools and technology, and take a user-centered approach to solving problems.

The draft Strategy was open for feedback from May to August 2023 and is now nearing its final stages. The current version is no longer open for feedback. The final version will be published in Fall 2023. Thank you for your contributions!
