How about the ministers go next?
UK citizens wondering if Whitehall civil servants really"get" technology may be heartened to learn that the Department of Science, Innovation and Technology have signed up for the STEM Futures scheme.
:"The scheme puts civil servants together with a diverse range of experts who all have a shared interest, ranging from data science, to systems thinking."DSIT is the first UK government department to participate in the scheme, which offers civil servants learning opportunities such as shadowing, placements and mentoring with experts from various backgrounds. The plan is to boost civil servants' STEM skills over the long term.
Experience at the sharp end of the world outside Whitehall will come from tech companies, research institutes and universities. The program is run by the Government Science and Engineering Profession, which comprises organizations across industry, academia and the public sector. DSIT has long attempted to get some real-world cutting-edge expertise into government. It is also participating in the Expert Exchange scheme, which is intended to overhaul how DSIT works with the science and technology sectors. The scheme includes secondments for experts from industry and academia.
