Skills and Work in the Emerging Digital Public Service: a knowledge synthesis project

Justin Longo (University of Regina) and Evert Lindquist (University of Victoria) have received a Knowledge Synthesis Grant for the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada focused on “Skills and Work in the Emerging Digital Public Service”.

This project will draw on Canadian and international evidence—primarily focused on the public sector, but also incorporating cross-sectoral insights—to identify how the digital era translates into specific skill and capacity requirements in the public sector.

Our goals also include undertaking an assessment of the rapidly emerging range of education, training, and career development offerings in digital tools and approaches for established and aspiring public servants in Canada, and understanding how the higher education system, public sector employers, private firms, civil society organizations, students (as future public servants), and current public servants can best work together to build this capacity.

Skills and work in the emerging digital public service is co-funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council and the Government of Canada’s Future Skills program.
