📋 Tender Overview
They personify the future of Bavarian administration: the first five graduates of the new "Digital Manager" advanced training course at the Bavarian School of Administration (BVS), to whom State Minister Dr. Fabian Mehring personally presented their certificates. "In the town hall, politics meets the reality of people's lives. Digital managers are therefore ambassadors of modern democracy," said Mehring in his speech at the BVS. "The development of solutions for a service-oriented, citizen-friendly and modern state is only possible with multipliers like you." For this reason, the State Ministry for Digital Affairs supports many of the BVS's offers for the advanced training of administrative employees in the field of digitalization.
The advanced training to become a digital manager at the BVS is part-time and mainly online. In six months, it provides extensive knowledge and skills in the field of e-government, including work and management techniques in the digital age, digital strategies and applications of open data, big data and artificial intelligence. The prerequisite for admission is successful participation in one of the Digital Pilot, Information Security Officer or Administrative Information Manager courses. The "Digital Pilot" course will be funded by the StMD with around 640,000 euros between 2023 and 2025. As part of the "Digital.Campus Bavaria" initiative, the State Ministry for Digital Affairs is also supporting Bavarian municipalities in building up targeted digital skills among their employees.
The first five graduates of the "Digital Manager" course work in the cities of Lohr am Main, Ingolstadt, Königsbrunn and Markt Lauterhofen as well as in the Middle Franconia district. As part of their training, they completed project work on the topics of "Introduction and implementation of ChatGPT", "Introduction of an electronic ordering system", "Introduction of an OZG service in the immigration system", "New intranet for all employees" and "Implementation of the 'Information Security Management' tool". "Thanks to your in-depth training, you are now local experts and can quickly achieve tangible results in your municipalities for the benefit of citizens and companies - as the faces of a modern, digital administration," said Mehring. "It is in your hands whether the state is perceived as dusty or as modern and efficient. This is a huge opportunity to make the administration 'cool'! That is why employees like you are also the most valuable resource of our administration."
