The Digital Profession is a community of government peers to learn from, collaborate with and mentor. We support the Australian Public Service to build the skills and digital ways of working that are needed to deliver simple, smart and personalised digital government services.
Digital skills and disciplines have a variety of forms and meaning across government. Digital is not just traditional or technical IT disciplines. Digital also covers methods of human-centred and agile thinking, designing and working, like multi-disciplinary teams.
The Digital Profession is for people who:
- want to start or grow a digital career
- need to lead in the digital age, like senior executives
- need to grow digital capability and diversity in their organisation.
Digital Profession members have or are building the skills required to help design, build, improve and maintain better digital government products and services.
Digital Profession members:
- learn and apply the skills needed to deliver better products and services for the community
- engage in continuous learning and development to contribute to the capability in their team
- stay up to date on trends, news, and opportunities in digital and government
support the needs of the digital community in all its forms and disciplines, from basic digital needs to user experience, human-centred design, digital leadership and management.
