English-Proficiency Program in CamSur Pushed to Enhance Job Seekers’ Competitiveness

The Philippines has undoubtedly become the BPO destination of choice, with Metro Manila and Metro Cebu as the country’s premier BPO hubs. Many provinces, however, have recognized the potential benefit to their local economies once they become local BPO destinations as well. One such example is the province of Camarines Sur. The provincial government of Camarines Sur is pushing its English-Proficiency Program (EPP) further to make local job seekers more competitive when it comes to BPO services. The province’s program, which aims to equip job seekers with technical skills and communication adeptness of call center agents, had already produced more than 5,000 graduates, most of whom are now employed in BPO companies.

The provincial government’s program ties in well with the employment opportunities in the local BPO sector. An international outsourcing company, Sutherland Global Services, lies in the heart of the provincial capitol complex and employs around 1,000 local workers. Students and graduates alike of the two-year old English proficiency training program will also benefit from the recently opened Embarcadero Business and IT Park, a luxurious business hub developed by the Sunwest Group of Companies, in the heart of Legazpi City.
