Details

The commercial career framework defines the common role types and corresponding capabilities which exist within the Government Commercial Function and has been designed to promote consistency of expectations across government.

It works by empowering individuals to identify possible career paths and understand which capabilities they should develop in order to follow each of these paths, as well as how to tailor their development towards achieving their career aspirations.
