Capability highlights
Capability is improving how the Civil Service recruits staff and builds skills. It provides simplified access to training, new standards for line managers and enhanced staff development.
Improving the skills of all civil servants, through Government Campus
Government Campus is transforming learning for the whole Civil Service. Whatever your role, your level of seniority or your geographical location, Government Campus supports you to progress your career, armed with the skills, knowledge and networks you need. It is working to offer a single platform from which civil servants can access all the skills learning they need.

The Leadership College for Government was launched as part of Government Campus in 2022 and provides a high-quality programme for managers and future leaders in the Civil Service and wider public sector.
Civil Service apprenticeships
The Civil Service apprenticeship strategy is providing good quality entry and progression pathways for apprentices on schemes like the Operational Delivery Apprenticeship. The Home Office has successfully achieved 16th place in the Top 100 Apprentice Employers 2024.
