The Civil Service Commission (CSC) supports the national government in fulfilling its commitment to assist eligible Contract of Service (COS) and Job Order (JO) workers in obtaining the necessary eligibility for permanent positions in the government by issuing the Career Service Eligibility - Preference Rating (CSE-PR).
This initiative stems from President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.'s directive during a sectoral meeting with the Department of Budget and Management, Department of the Interior and Local Government, Commission on Audit, and the CSC. The aim is to boost the skills and capabilities of COS and JO workers, empowering them to successfully pass the career service examinations, a prerequisite for pursuing career service positions.
CSC Chairperson Karlo Nograles explained that the CSE-PR is granted to eligible workers who have served for at least 10 years and have demonstrated valuable skills but lack the specific eligibility for plantilla positions.
