Supporting the development of transformative leaders within local government
Following the success of last year’s Executive Education Programme in Digital Transformation for UK Local Government, we decided to run the programme again.

Laying the foundations for better local public services
Following the success of last year’s Executive Education Programme in Digital Transformation for UK Local Government, we decided to run the programme again.
In March this year, we teamed up with the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Institute to jointly deliver a virtual programme for local government at no cost.
It’s been seven months since we launched an online library of training courses to support our local government colleagues to develop their digital skills while working remotely. In that time, we’ve had 218 applications from people working in more than 100 councils for more than 40 courses.
Earlier this year, we launched a library of online training courses to support our local government colleagues to learn and develop their digital skills while working remotely. We want to share with you what we’ve learned so far and what we plan to do next. You can also find out how we’ve expanded the offer to provide even more training opportunities.
We have developed a virtual training offer that will ensure we can still support local authority staff to learn and develop their digital skills.
MHCLG pledged to train 1000 local authority staff as part of our mission to support the ‘Local Digital’ movement. Read about how the Local Digital Collaboration Unit have achieved this and how your local authority can access free digital training.
