Learning

• Learning Framework

  The Learning Framework for the public service supports the delivery of the Public Service Policy on Learning, Training and Development, and defines the role of the Canada School of Public Service.

  It is a comprehensive plan that is designed to align learning in government with the business of government.

• New Programs by the Canada School of Public Service

  The Canada School of Public Service, the common learning service provider of the public service, plays a vital role in the delivery of the learning framework by providing foundational learning.

  • Coming Soon: Orientation to the Public Service

    Almost immediately after being appointed, all new public servants at all levels, hired for six months plus one day, will get basic orientation training as an introduction to the public service.

    Please visit the School’s Web site for upcoming pilot offerings.

  • Coming Soon: Authority Delegation Assessment and Training

    Authority delegation assessment and training will ensure that managers at all levels understand their roles, responsibilities and their basic delegated authorities in finance, human resources, information management and contracting, and that they acquire the fundamental knowledge and skills needed to meet legal requirements and exercise delegated authority competently.

    Please visit the School’s Web site for upcoming pilot offerings.

  • Coming Soon: Professional Training

    Professional training will ensure that public servants in key occupations or designated functional communities (Finance; Audit; HR; Procurement, Material Management and Real Property; Information Management) will meet minimum standards for learning.

• PSMA Learning Series

  The Public Service Modernization Act (PSMA) provides significant opportunities for renewal, reform and
  cultural change. Managers, HR professionals and collective bargaining agents require relevant learning products and services to implement the new Act.

  DELEGATED MANAGERS need to understand and accept new responsibilities and accountabilities
  in order to implement the new HR management framework, particularly when managing a large team.

  HR PROFESSIONALS need in-depth knowledge and skills to develop new procedures and
  the ability to lead attitude and behavioural changes in their organization. They are divided into specialist areas, including labour relations, HR planning, staffing, compensation and bargaining.

  COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGENTS and managers will need to work collaboratively in the
  new labour management era.

  To respond to individual learning needs, the Canada School of Public Service's learning series includes:

  • classroom courses;
  • online modules;
  • conferences and special events; and
  • learning advisory services.

  For additional information, please visit the School's PSMA learning resource centre.
