Minister launches new campus for National School of Government

The National School of Government will roll out a range of training programmes from day one, including AI training, for all civil servants.

With its first dedicated residential campus outside York, the national school has been created to ensure that the civil service has the knowledge and skills it needs to deliver the government’s priorities.

We are building a world-class civil service, ensuring staff have the skills to drive government priorities and deliver for people across the UK.

Cabinet Office Minister Mark Ferguson has today opened the new National School of Government and Public Services, which will provide training for civil servants and public sector leaders.

Regional hubs will be developed across the country, with the first opened in York this week, alongside digital access routes to give civil servants access to modern learning facilities close to where they live and work.

It will provide civil servants and public sector leaders with the world-class learning and development they need to meet the challenges of the future.

The school will build a curriculum around the skills all servants need, including training on devolution, national security, leadership and innovation.  Training will also be offered in AI, covering the full range of skills needed now and in the future, from implementing practical solutions at the frontline to cut clerical workloads to cloud engineering courses to develop and deploy the latest technology across government, the School will equip Civil Servants with the tools to build a world-class Civil Service.
