What is the framework and why is it useful?
The skills framework has been developed for the ODP by operational delivery colleagues across Government and represents the diverse breadth of roles we see in the Civil Service.
Whether your team members are looking to bridge a skills gap or move into a new role, the skills framework will support your team in their career development.
