Career Executive Service Board

The Career Executive Service Board (CESB) is the Philippine government agency responsible for managing the Career Executive Service (CES), the third level of the civil service covering senior government officials at director and equivalent ranks. Based in Quezon City, CESB administers the Career Executive Service Written Examination (CESWE), confers CES eligibility, and classifies positions across National Government Agencies and Local Government Units as CES positions. Beyond examination and eligibility, CESB runs structured leadership development programs for career executives. Its flagship GABAY training course brings together eligible officials from agencies nationwide for multi-week sessions focused on strategic leadership and public service innovation. The CES Club Learning Sessions add a continuing education layer, keeping senior officials connected to evolving governance challenges. While CESB is a regulatory and development body rather than a commercial BPO or outsourcing provider, organizations in the BPO Philippines ecosystem or back office operations employing senior-level personnel subject to civil service rules may find CESB's position classification resolutions and eligibility frameworks directly relevant to workforce structuring.
