The Civil Service College provides learning and development opportunities with the aim of building capability across the Civil Service. Learning and development is aligned to the Civil Service’s core competency of “building capability” and it provides two essential ingredients for organisational success. Firstly, it provides civil servants with the knowledge and skills they need to undertake their roles effectively, even when these roles are required to evolve to meet new challenges arising within our community. Secondly, it ensures continual professional development and increases access to opportunities for progression and advancement.
