The initiative will focus on enhancing the digital literacy of civil servants and government employees, as well as developing their knowledge and skills in artificial intelligence and cybersecurity.
The training will be delivered online through a digital platform and will be completely free of charge. It will be available to all employees of government institutions, including managers and specialists.
The program’s curriculum has been developed based on DigComp 3.0, the European Union’s digital competence framework. Participants will be assigned to training courses according to their proficiency levels, and those who successfully complete the program will receive certificates.
The “Digital Horizons” Program will be implemented as part of the measures outlined in Subparagraph 8.1.12 of the 2026–2028 Action Plan for Accelerating Digital Development in the Republic of Azerbaijan, which provides for enhancing the digital development competencies, knowledge, and skills of officials in public authorities and institutions.
