The Government Commercial Organisation (GCO) is the employer of senior commercial professionals, at Grade 7 and above, within the Government Commercial Function (GCF). The GCO brochure above provides an overview of the organisation.
To become a part of the GCO, potential employees must attend the Commercial Assessment and Development Centre (ADC). The commercial assessment and development centre brochure shows you what to expect on the day. It also covers why the Centre is important for government.
Commercial specialists in government can access a range of learning and development opportunities. The Learning and Development brochure outlines what training options are available to you. This includes individual and group coaching sessions, masterclasses, mentoring and action learning sets.
