About the programme

You’re invited to join the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Institute in collaboration with the Department for Levelling Up, Housing, and Communities (DLUHC) for the Executive Education Programme in Digital Transformation for UK Local Government. This programme equips senior public servants with the confidence and expertise they need to lead the successful digital transformation of public services to better meet the needs of their citizens.

The programme is available at no cost. Capacity is limited.

Learning experience

The programme features three modules with live interactive Q&A sessions and workshops, as well as online video content. Recognised academic, industry, and public service leaders, from both within government and further afield, will deliver the programme. You will examine case studies to aid understanding of both best practices and pitfalls when it comes to digitalisation.

After the programme

After completing the programme, you will receive a certificate of attendance and become enrolled in the AWS Institute Network. This is a peer-to-peer professional community for senior executives to convene around common challenges and best practices in a trusted space.
