Center aims to improve outsourcing applicants

07.04.2006
The European Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines (ECCP) has opened a training center meant to improve the country's labor pool by catering to "near hired" applicants in the outsourcing sector.

The center is managed by the European IT Service Center (EITSC), an initiative by the ECCP.

EITSC is partnering with private training institutions like May K Learning Network, which does in-house training specific for call centers.

EITSC executive director Dominic Sabado said this training hub, located at EITSC's offices in Makati City, is an integral part of a P51 million (US$1 million) program that plans to produce a more highly qualified set of workers that companies in the IT and BPO sectors can tap.
