A total of 83 government agencies participated in the event, extending their job offers to fresh graduates, first-time jobseekers, and those aspiring to serve in the public sector.

Key positions available during the GOCF included Project Development Officer, Administrative Officer, Civil Engineer, Administrative Assistant, and Guidance Counselor positions.

“Their continued support to the GOCF allows us to provide an encouraging environment for those who want a career in the civil service. The third week of PCSA highlighted the true value of malasakit by opening possibilities for all sectors in just one click, including persons with disabilities, members of indigenous communities, and those identifying with diverse sexual orientations, gender identities, and expressions,” he said.
