Attracting, developing, and retaining digital talent in the GC

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 Strategy is now in the beta phase and ready for your in-depth feedback. Since the Strategy is still in draft, it is currently only available in English. A French version will be shared in the coming weeks.
