Digital Academy
The CSPS Digital Academy was established by the Canada School of Public Service (CSPS ) in 2018 to help federal public servants gain the knowledge, skills and mindsets they need in the digital age. It supports the principles of Canada's Beyond2020 initiative for an agile, inclusive and equipped workforce and advocates for a digital-first approach that aligns with Canada's Digital Standards . These ten digital standards form the foundation of the government's shift to becoming more agile, open and user-focused.
What we offer
As one of the School's business lines, the Digital Academy supports public servants at all stages of their learning and at all levels of their careers through the Discover Series , a suite of courses that introduce foundational digital mindsets, skills and tools to help public servants succeed.
