Build your digital toolkit with Code for Canada and Ryerson University
Modern technology enables government services that are more responsive and resident-focused. In order to deliver these new services, governments need a strong understanding of the tools and processes of both tech and design.
That's why Code for Canada is collaborating with Ryerson University's Chang School of Continuing Education to offer Digital Government and Civic Tech (CVUP 110). The seven-week, online course introduces public servants—and others—to to these new tools and processes and prepares them to lead a digital transformation in the public sector.

"My favourite part of the course was creating a wireframe ... It’s one of the many skills from the course that I’ve begun to use at work; it’s a great way to quickly show your team what could be possible and get valuable feedback."
- Ricki-Lee Bloom (Government of Canada)
