Latvia’s Public Administration Digital Academy is expanding AI literacy training with a target of 62,900 employees trained by 2026, with 53,000 already trained as of early 2025. Training covers data literacy, cybersecurity, AI fundamentals, agile project management, and user-centred service design, targeting educators, unemployed individuals, job seekers, and entrepreneurs.
Who it affects: Civil servants, educators, unemployed individuals, and entrepreneurs across Latvia; the academy reaches a significant share of the workforce.
What is notably missing: Training is a government initiative rather than a binding employer obligation; no legal mandate requires employers to provide AI training. No minimum competency standard with verification before AI deployment is documented for civil servants. The 62,900 target represents significant scale but is not legally enforced.
