About Core Competencies
Our Core Competency Framework identifies the essential skills and behaviours that are applicable to all civil servants, irrespective of their role or seniority in the organisation. The framework identifies three core competencies:

These core competencies apply to every civil servant, and progressively build in complexity to reflect that civil servants have varying levels of responsibility.
What’s In It For You?
The Core Competency Framework is designed for your personal and professional growth. By following the pathways, you'll acquire valuable skills that can open doors to new opportunities and empower you to overcome challenges in your chosen field, leading to a more fulfilling and successful future.
