Helping educators prepare public servants for the digital era

Open-access syllabus | 8 core competencies | Free training and support

Welcome to Teaching Public Service in the Digital Age. We are a community of practitioners and professors of digital government and public administration with a mission to address the lack of digital-era skills in the public sector. We exist so that you can empower your students with the knowledge they need to excel in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.

Open-access syllabus

  • Free online ‘teach the teacher’ digital-era materials.

  • Designed to fit amongst the core required modules of both MPA and MPP programmes but adaptable for many other educational contexts.

  • Currently used by educators in 70 universities across 30 countries.

Digital-era competencies

  • Eight key skills all public service leaders should have regardless of their role.

  • Developed in consultation with educators around the world to reflect the most critical digital skills required for modern public service.

Teaching case competition

We are thrilled to launch an international competition to identify digital government teaching case studies. Participate in this competition to win one of 15 cash prizes worth between $1,000 and $5,000.
