Digital Talent/Digital Skills
Digital Skills Initiative
Help grow digital talent and skills in the government of Canada
Defining and developing digital skills for all public servants
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 and supporting the development of digital skills all public servants need in a modern workforce.

- How are digital skills defined?
- How should digital skills-related data (e.g. inventory of digital skills) be managed
