<p>We want to ensure that the Civil Service is ready to meet the challenges of the
twenty first century.</p><p>Through our programme of Civil Service Reform the Government
is working to address long-standing weaknesses in four key skills areas: commercial,
programme and project delivery, digital delivery, and leading and managing change
across the Civil Service.</p><p>Civil Servants are encouraged to take at least five
days learning a year but the key point is to ensure that civil servants have the particular
skills they need to do their jobs well. The Functional Heads, most of whom report
to the Chief Executive of the Civil Service, will set the learning curricula for their
functions.</p><p>Most learning is now provided by Civil Service Learning.</p><p>Complete
central records are not held on the number of days training, training budgets or training
expenditure.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
