CSPS Digital Academy - On the Circuit Talks

**What are On the Circuit Talks?**

The Canada School of Public Service’s Digital Academy is pleased to launch its pilot of On the Circuit Talks. They are 45-minute, talk-show type, monthly sessions where we have lively, open discussions, including debates, on some of the most current and emerging digital-related topics that are top of mind. Public servants have long asked for discussions like this one. We’ve designed these Talks with you in mind. This is your chance to speak with us directly, share your ideas and insights. We’re including you in our discussions with experts.
