Abstract

Context and Objective: This article addresses Schools of Government in Public Administration, analyzing their impacts from the perspective of education for sustainable digital transformation. It examines how the fundamental constructs of this field interact with corporate education for digital transformation in municipalities, highlighting challenges and proposing strategic paths.

Methodology: The research uses a methodological approach based on the hypothetical-deductive method that combines bibliographic review and administrative analysis to understand the initial implications of digital transformation in governmental educational institutions for civil servants.

Originality: The importance of these themes lies in the theoretical-practical depth carried out based on a reality that is still little explored in Public Administration.

Results and Contributions: Finally, there is a critical evaluation of the theme and concluding remarks, offering reflections and suggesting new research proposals.
