An ongoing investment in our people
The State Service is committed to building the confidence, skills and adaptability employees need to perform effectively and respond to the needs of the Tasmanian community. Capability building is an ongoing investment in our people, strengthening core skills, supporting leadership development and enabling employees to build expertise.
We foster a workplace culture where learning is part of everyday work and development opportunities are accessible to all. Through continuous learning and professional development, we are building a skilled, adaptable and future‑ready workforce.
This section is being refreshed and expanded. Over time, it will provide a comprehensive range of resources, frameworks and development opportunities to support capability building across the State Service.
The 70:20:10 model
The State Service recognises that capability is developed through different learning settings. The 70:20:10 model reflects a blended approach, recognising that learning occurs through a combination of everyday work experience, interaction with colleagues and experts, and formal development activities. The model highlights that most learning happens in the workplace, supported by collaborative learning with others, and complemented by structured learning such as training courses and e‑learning.
Learn more about the 70:20:10 model at the 70:20:10 Institute website.
Tasmanian Training Consortium
The Tasmanian Training Consortium supports capability building across the State Service by coordinating and delivering targeted learning and development opportunities aligned to workforce priorities. Through a whole‑of‑service approach, the consortium strengthens core skills, leadership capability and expertise, supporting a skilled, adaptable and future‑ready workforce.
Further capability building opportunities are available through your people and culture team.
