- The reform of the selection bodies is one of the pillars for the updating of the processes, with measures that will be gradually incorporated and that will culminate in the Public Employment Offer of 2025
The Ministry of Territorial Policy and Public Service takes another step today in the modernization of the General State Administration (AGE), within the program to rethink the selection of staff, with the publication on the web of the National Institute of Public Administration (INAP) of the curriculum of the 15 members that make up the Permanent Selection Commission.
The Permanent Selection Commission, composed of a president, a secretary and thirteen members, is the collegiate body responsible for carrying out the general selection processes of the AGE: Civil Service Management Corps, Systems Management and Informatics of the State Administration, Management Scale of Autonomous Bodies, Administrative General of the State Administration, Auxiliary Computer Technicians of the State Administration and Auxiliary General of the State Administration.
Among the competences of the Permanent Selection Commission are the following: carrying out the selective processes of each call, establishing the criteria of action that should govern the selective processes, qualifying the exercises of the selective tests, elaborating the final memory after the performance of the selective tests and evaluating the results and informing the director of the INAP of the development of the tests and proposing, as well as to the Public Service, the actions to improve the development of the selective processes.
Strategic guidelines to update the selective processes in the AGE
The Minister of Territorial Policy and Public Function, Miquel Iceta, presented on May 26 the strategic guidelines to update and modernize the selective processes in the AGE, reform that will culminate in the Public Employment Offer of 2025, although the improvements will be introduced gradually, as already happened with the call for 10,254 places in the AGE on May 28, which included as novelty the realization of the theoretical and practical tests on the same day, streamlining the processes and avoiding a second displacement of the opponents.
The publication today of the curriculum of the members of the Personnel Selection Committee, is another step in the changes that are going to be introduced and that are part of a broad project of Talent Acquisition, which will be presented before the summer holidays and which will address the strategic lines to incorporate the necessary personnel to the AGE to guarantee the quality of public services for citizens.
The considerations are the result of months of debate to prepare the Administration of the 21st Century and face the challenges of the AGE: aging of staff, ignorance of the role of the Administration as an employer, mismatch between the educational system and the selective processes and the digital revolution.
The guidelines for change are structured in five pillars: selection planning, opposition, selective course, equality and diversity and selection bodies.
The selection bodies, therefore, constitute one of the pillars of the changes in the selective processes, the guidelines containing a strategy and criteria for deepening their professionalization. The publication of the curriculum of the members of the Permanent Selection Commission is one more step. From today, their names, their academic qualifications, their most relevant professional training, their current destination and their professional experience are made public.
