The Scottish Digital Academy
Scotland’s future will be forged in a digital world. A world in which digital skills and technologies will transform our lives. We are the centre of excellence for digital capability and we support the Digital, Data and Technology (DDaT) profession within the Scottish Government.
Our team provides high quality professional learning to public and third sector staff to build digital skills and talent. Our aim is to support the transformation of services by being focused on user centred design, maximising the use of digital technologies and using new ways of working.

We’re an organisation that touches the lives of everyone across Scotland, and beyond.
With big ambitions come big opportunities, and the digital profession has some of the most rewarding jobs and careers available today. We’re building new services and redesigning old ones, and we need innovative, curious, and passionate people to keep us moving forward. If you can rethink old approaches, and transform systems and services, there’s a place for you here.
The Digital, Data and Technology Profession (DDaT) profession spans a vast range of roles across government. We currently have over 50 digital, data and technology job roles, organised into career paths within eight job families.
