Digital Talent Strategy


Attracting and developing digital talent in the GC

The Government of Canada’s Digital Talent Strategy defines a long-term vision for supporting and building 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.
