Overview of the programThe CSPS Digital Accelerator spans 14 weeks in total. It starts with the Exploration phase, where learners are introduced to the Government of Canada Digital Standards, followed by the Discovery phase, where teams are introduced to problem framing and user research. It continues on to the Alpha phase, where teams go through specialized learning in design, data, development, DevOps and artificial intelligence, and start prototyping solution ideas. It ends with Demo Day when teams present their problems and their prototyped solutions to a nationwide audience of public servants and government executives.
Exploration phaseThe Exploration phase is when teams are onboarded, and learners start preparing for the Discovery phase by completing the Digital Readiness Self-assessment and engaging in self-directed and classroom learning focused on the five Government of Canada Digital Standards most closely aligned with the objectives of the CSPS Digital Accelerator.
