Digital transformation involves significant changes regarding the tasks, working processes and organisational setup of the public administration. A new culture is finding its way into government offices. Both the general public and our younger employees have new expectations of “our” public administration. The Federal Digital Academy helps you to navigate the continuously arising new challenges of everyday life in the digital age. Our offerings provide IT, professional and organisational skills, promoting self-development skills and, not least, new leadership, cooperation and communication skills.

1. Promoting digital skills:
   One of Federal Digital Academy's key tasks consists in supporting the digital transformation of the federal administration by grouping together the offerings and activities of BAköV that are relevant for digital transformation.
   
   
2. Supporting cultural change:
   BAköV’s training courses on leadership, New Work and change help to support the change process and cultural shift in the public administration on the basis of systemic personnel development.
   
   
3. Building networks:
   In the learning hub in Berlin, learners can interact and network in a modern environment. Federal Digital Academy provides the basis for inter-agency learning and networking.

The training portal is accessible only via the Networks of the Federal Government and is only accessible to federal employees.

This website is to be seen first and foremost as a gateway to a comprehensive learning space. We wish to invite all federal employees to make use of the new, comprehensive training courses offered by Federal Digital Academy. Have you already heard of our digital journeys? The Federal Digital Academy is delighted to take you on an exciting tour, providing an overview of digital transformation in the public administration – join us and get inspired!

At the beginning of each episode that is presented on the website, you will come across some key terms, technologies or methods which are related to digital transformation, and working situations which will undergo profound change as a result of digital transformation. Videos, animated films and other short presentations will provide you with basic information about new technologies and methods, new working requirements and innovative opportunities involved in digital transformation. While digital transformation is very important to us all, there is also a lot of fun involved. We want you to visit us voluntarily and with a smile on your face, not because you feel duty-bound to do so. You can access this information from your office, from home or by using your smartphone. You can join us on the journey no matter where you are working.

But it is not just about expanding your knowledge. Above all, we want to provide you with an opportunity to acquire the skills that you need to perform your tasks. And if you want to learn more, not only will you find more detailed information on the individual topics on our website, but you can also take an even closer look at the topics and acquire relevant working skills by watching our videos, which present the training courses offered by Federal Digital Academy in the individual episodes, broken down according to target groups and task areas. We pull out all the stops, using our rich experience with e-learning offerings. We offer not only in-person seminars or workshops but also comprehensive online seminars, learning videos, e-learning programmes or other learning formats. These training courses provide you with the skills you need in the digital age. To whet your appetite, some of the episodes include short videos in which our lecturers give you a look into the learning objectives and content of the respective training courses.

For specific functions (e.g. for leaders, project managers, chief digital officers) we have combined individual training courses to form comprehensive learning pathways which help employees working in these functions to acquire the new skills that they urgently need to deal with digital transformation.

As you can see, digital transformation creates wonderful opportunities in the field of further training, and we are continuously developing these opportunities for you. After all, training is our mission. We’ll get you future-ready today!

In accordance with the mission of the Federal Academy of Public Administration (BAköV), the training courses offered on the website are available to federal employees only. Employees from state or local governments may attend as guests if places are available.
