Digital Talent/Digital Skills
Digital Skills Initiative
As part of the President of the Treasury Board’s Mandate Letter, the Office of the Chief Human Resources Officer (OCHRO) is developing a long-term, government-wide Public Service Skills Strategy to ensure that the public service has capacity to support Canadians in an increasingly changing world. This includes a strong emphasis on increasing modern digital skills for all public servants.
At OCIO, we are supporting this commitment by defining the digital skills all public servants need in a modern workforce.
- What were you pleased to see included in the initiative?
- What key elements are missing from the initiative?
- What would make this initiative better?
- What research should we review to improve the initiative?
- What digital skills are important for all public servants to have?
In the coming months, we will host workshops and online activities to answer key research and discovery questions to better understand:
- How are digital skills defined?
- How should digital skills-related data (e.g. inventory of digital skills) be managed
- What are some of the best learning resources to learn digital skills?
Please provide your comments and express your interest in participating in a workshop in this Microsoft Form.
