- Review the GC Digital Talent Strategy mission and general expectations
- Make note of and leverage existing TBS services for digital talent
- Reflecting on the above and using the guide below, outline your department’s existing digital talent efforts and next steps to support digital talent in your organization
GC Digital Talent Strategy - Departmental Job-Aid (sharepoint.com)
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
They typically work in multidisciplinary teams, require modern tools and technology, and take a user-centered approach to solving problems.
Thank you to the digital community for your support in improving and honing the GC Digital Talent Strategy over its many iterations. The Strategy is now published, and a draft implementation roadmap will be shared on GCxchange (community space to be developed) in the early Winter 2024.
