By encouraging people with immigrant backgrounds to join its workforce, the public sector wants to be a better reflection of the society it serves. The Commissioner for Migrants, Refugees and Integration is launching a campaign to combat certain pre-conceived ideas that are still prevalent among potential candidates, as well as a seven-point action plan in federal, regional and municipal administrations to raise awareness among recruiters.

This is one of the flagship measures of the Civil Service Renewal Plan: a centralised and modernised training system that makes full use of new technologies. The OneLearning platform is now accessible to all civil staff, who can take advantage of a vast selection of interactive sessions and courses, whether in the area of business skills or personal development.

The government's HR division has put out a call for applications to encourage staff to move between departments. The goal is to bolster the expertise they have acquired and to increase cross-departmental collaboration. Implementation of the measure is supported by activities and tools that ensure good integration, operational learning and ongoing sharing of experiences.
