Learning and development for Executive Levels

The Commission knows and understands the needs, culture, future challenges and Government expectations of the APS like no other provider.

Our Executive learning and development programs are APS-focused; delivering the core skills, behaviours and knowledge to help you establish a strong foundation in the public sector.

The Commission is distinguished from other training providers in that we work collaboratively with APS agencies and professional facilitators to deliver tailored and targeted whole-of-government programs that respond to the increasing complexity of contemporary APS work. As a flexible and forward looking organisation the Commission is able to quickly react to changes in government priorities by designing, developing and introducing new, highly relevant and innovative learning and development solutions.

A comprehensive list and detailed information of all our national programs and events is available at www.apsc.gov.au/learn/programmes.htm or select one of the program streams below. As other programs and events are developed details will be available from this website.

State of the Service Report briefings
This year’s State of the Service Report briefing will be an ideal forum for you to consider the current and emerging issues facing the APS.

Residential programs
Residential programs provide a unique opportunity to focus on core capabilities and behaviours and to interact with peers and network with colleagues across the APS, building networks and cultivating productive working relationships.

Australian and New Zealand School of Government
ANZSOG provides teaching programs for current and emerging public sector leaders to enhance the breadth and depth of policy, leadership and management skills needed in today’s public sector.

Human Resources Management Development
The SES and EL levels within the Australian Public Service have important human resource responsibilities. Effective People Management and Human Resource Strategy are intrinsically linked to organisational performance. The HR Management Development program focuses on building capacity in these critical areas through a series of workshops that can either stand alone or be taken as an integrated whole.

Public Sector Management (PSM) Program
With a focus on the strategic direction for the public sector, this program presents an integrated view of business planning, public accountability and the ability to lead.

Indigenous Programs
The Commission is working towards improving the number of Indigenous Australians working in the APS and their prospects for career development. The Commission offers a range of development programs for Indigenous employees in the APS.

Integrated Leadership System (ILS)
The ILS defines the capabilities required of employees in the APS. The suite of development programs, events and services provided by the Commission have been specifically designed to reflect this Framework and enhance the performance of the APS.

Executive Level Leadership Network (formerly known as the LDN)
The Executive Level Leadership Network series provides opportunities for information sharing and developing strong communities of interest supporting strategic and operational leadership issues and initiatives across the Australian Public Service.

Customised delivery of programs and services
 The Commission has established a panel of more than one hundred leading corporate management consultancy firms with public and private sector expertise. The Commission can customise programs and services to meet the particular needs of agencies in a flexible and cost effective manner.
For more information on internal learning and development programs and our panel arrangements go to our Customised delivery page.

Nationally recognised skills
Building on our reputation as a quality provider of public sector learning and development programs and events, and further enhancing our commitment to offering high level professional development, the Commission is now accredited as a Registered Training Organisation (RTO).
