Government IT Profession
As the professional group for all people working in IT in the public sector, our goal is to enable organisations and individuals to build effective capacity and capability to deliver excellent IT.
We aim to drive the development of a more professional government IT workforce by putting into place the right building blocks for the profession – setting the standards, policies and guidance required to ensure that the public sector has capable people and capable organisations, delivering and managing fit-for-purpose IT-enabled projects and services.
To achieve this we will continue to drive our work through three core strands, supporting individuals and organisations at every level by:
Enabling organisations and individuals to develop the capability required to deliver excellence through advice and guidance on embedding professionalism and using the skills frameworks, and by creating and signposting learning and development opportunities.
Enabling organisations to build capacity to deliver excellence through the growth and expansion of the Technology in Business Fast Stream and the development of good practice on talent management, pay and reward systems and succession planning for senior roles.
Enabling effective communications to, with and on behalf of IT professionals through the development of our online community space for IT professionals, and with the relationships we develop with other public sector professions, with IT industry leaders, with training providers and with membership organisations.
