If you’re a teacher or learner in Wales, you’ll probably be familiar with Hwb. If not Hwb is the online platform which provides access to a wide range of bilingual online tools and resources to support teaching and learning. Hwb is also one of Welsh Government’s biggest digital transformation programmes and over the past few months work has been undertaken to bring the running of this service fully in-house to Welsh Government.

We are more aware than ever before of the public value of data and one way we can make the most of it is by linking it together and sharing it.

Back in November we welcomed out first intake of Digital apprentices. Four months on we thought we’d catch up with them to find out a bit more about them and what they think of the experience so far. So, it’s over to our ‘Digi squad’ to tell you more.

We recently blogged about Welsh Government recruiting to Digital, Data and Technology roles and how we want to increase our internal skills and capability in these areas. As part of this recruitment we recently hired a new Developer to the Corporate Digital Team and we’re really excited to welcome him to the organisation.

We don’t know who you are, but if you have a very particular set of skills we will find you…

You may have noticed recently on the CDO twitter feed (and if not, you should follow us @cdowales) that we have started to advertise for digital, data and technology specialists. As there’ll be a number of recruitments in the coming months we thought we’d write a blog to tell you a bit more about why we’re recruiting and what Welsh Government has to offer. Continue reading
