Scope

Our Skills Wiki compiles existing skills-building resources for new hires who are about to start in government. This wiki is not exhaustive. We expect that new hires will have many questions that are not covered by the resources below. If you identify resources that we missed, please submit them

here⁠

We also note that many agencies maintain resources that are not publicly accessible, including some on this list. We encourage you to ask the onboarding team at your agency if they have additional resources to offer you.

Organization

Our Skills Wiki is organized into 4 main sections:

Government Systems⁠

Government Norms⁠

Professional Development⁠

, and

Tech in Government⁠

The

Government Systems⁠

section includes resources to learn more about government-specific systems like budgeting, procurement, human resources/hiring, and IT/cybersecurity systems.

The

Government Norms⁠

section includes resources to learn more about norms and language that might be new for private sector employees, such as government acronyms, ethics rules, and communications policies.

The

Professional Development⁠

section includes resources on common government professional development resources, such as management and leadership trainings.

The

Tech in Government⁠

section includes resources that would be helpful for technologists in government, such as design or software development resources.

Each section is further divided into subcategories to group similar resources. Some resources address a broad range of topics and therefore have been included in multiple sections.
