Specialist skills
Get easy access to recommended specialist skills learning for civil servants.
Everyone in the Civil Service should be a member of at least one government profession.
Professions work across government on behalf of departments, agencies and functions and an individual can belong to more than one government profession. For example, a HR professional might also be part of the project delivery profession.
