Enhancing Digital Skills in the Public Sector
In a bid to bolster the digital capabilities of public sector professionals, the Rijksorganisatie voor Ontwikkeling, Digitalisering en Innovatie (RADIO) has announced the launch of six additional online Cloud-IT courses.

These courses are crucial for improving operational efficiency and enhancing service delivery in the public sector [1][2].

RADIO collaborates with I-Interim Rijk and the Rijks ICT Gilde to deliver these courses, under the commission of the BZK, CIO Rijk.

By offering these courses, RADIO intends to create a network of digitally proficient professionals who can drive cloud technology adoption and innovation across various government sectors [1][3].
Broader Context of Digitalization Initiatives
This initiative aligns with the Netherlands’ broader strategy for digitalization, which includes key priorities like cloud technology deployment and enhancing digital skills among civil servants. The government’s digital strategy emphasizes responsible data sharing, AI opportunities, and improving digital resilience. RADIO’s courses are a critical component of this strategy, providing essential training to ensure that public sector professionals can effectively leverage digital tools in their roles [4].
