Canary Islands' Public Employee Training Program 2025

Overview

The Canary Islands' local government is rolling out a comprehensive training program for public employees in 2025, backed by over 782,000 euros in funding from national and regional sources. The plan, approved in late May, aims to enhance the skills of local workers through a mix of online and potentially in-person courses, covering areas like transparency, digital technology, legal affairs, gender policies, environmental management, and health and safety.

Objectives

• Modernize public services
• Improve efficiency
• Foster innovation at the local level

Development and Planning

This initiative is part of a broader effort to modernize public services, improve efficiency, and foster innovation at the local level. It was shaped by input from previous training data, surveys, and feedback from union organizations, ensuring the courses meet actual staff needs.

Implementation

Participants will be assessed through feedback forms, with the program's progress monitored via a comparison of planned versus actual activity. The courses will be delivered throughout 2025, aiming to:

• Boost professional growth of local government workers
