Fund Type
Ontario is on its way to becoming a world-leading digital jurisdiction. Our Digital and Data Innovation Fellowship Program is helping us forge that path by inviting Ontario’s best digital and data practitioners to work on transformational digital projects.
The program will match successful fellows with the right projects for their skill sets and integrate them into existing government teams.
We are looking for 6 to 10 fellows, who will take a leave of absence from their current workplace and join a government team for about six months, starting in February 2022. This time period may shift depending on project needs or fellow availability. Fellows will work remotely, with the possibility of occasionally coming into an office.
Fellows will remain employees of their organization, but we will pay a portion of their salary while they are working with us.
Benefits for organizations and their talent
Fellows will have the opportunity to deliver the type of high-impact digital and data projects that are only possible in government and tackle important and unique public-sector challenges. They will:
- learn how the government works
- make valuable contacts
- work directly with ministry decision makers
- coach and mentor team members
- contribute to meaningful work that will positively impact Ontarians and Ontario businesses
- experience how the Digital Service Standard is changing how we deliver services
The Digital Fellows team at the Ontario Digital Service will support fellows with:
- comprehensive government orientation and onboarding
- regular check ins
- regular access to program executive sponsors
- opportunities to network with government digital practitioners and other fellows
