Civil Service Live is under way - with a chance for civil servants to find out more about the cross-government learning they can access - much of which is free.
Government Skills is the Cabinet Office team responsible for all cross-government learning and top civil servants have been helping us to champion the Curriculum of recommended learning - which gives civil servants easy access to the quality-assured learning that matters most.

Promoting learning opportunities
“Skills are at the heart of ambitions for a productive and agile Civil Service that can truly deliver on the Government’s missions,” said Sir Olly.
“That’s why I am so pleased to be at Civil Service Live on its opening day and to be able to champion the value of the brilliant learning opportunities available to us all, including digital and data skills.”
