This article focuses on the implementation of digitalization and its features into the teachers’ in-service and civil servants’ training in the context of modern Ukrainian postgraduate pedagogical education. It is one of the actual themes and important necessities of the present situation.
 The main objective of the study is to summarize and generalize the practical experience of Ukrainian scientists on the peculiarities of in-service training of subject teachers and civil servants and to find effective mechanisms for working with adults in the digital space.
 To achieve the objective some problems have been solved such as: to analyze technical ability and accessibility to work in modern online and offline conditions during teachers' in-service training, to determine the steps of actions while introducing the online educational hub platform. It was stated that the process should be focused on participants’ hard and soft-skills development.
 While writing this article the following research methods have been used: 1) theoretical: system analysis, abstraction, generalization, comparison, systematization and classification of the received information and its interpretation; 2) empirical: method of survey and questionnaire, method of comparative analysis of the obtained results, expert evaluation.
 The conclusions show that a modern educational environment should consist of two components: an online platform that will accelerate training services provision and an educational hub equipped with up-to-date facilities. It will also help us to promote the Institute's educational services not only online but offline using modern educational methodologies. In general, the project will promote more active cooperation between territorial communities’ of Ukraine.
