10K TRABAHO SA BPO PARA SA DISPLACED TOURISM WORKERS

MAHIGIT sa 10,000 trabaho sa business process outsourcing (BPO) industry ang bubuksan para sa mga tourism worker sa buong bansa na nawalan ng trabaho.

Ang oportunidad ay ginawang posible ng Department of Tourism (DOT), sa pakikipagpartner sa Concentrix Philippines, sa paglulunsad ng virtual regional job fair na may titulong “Mabuhay! Partnership: Overcoming Adversities Through New Opportuni-ties”.

“The DOT is taking this as a timely blessing for affected tourism workers. Our tour guides and frontline service providers cer-tainly have an edge, especially those who speak foreign languages, as they find work in the BPO industry while tourism operations are still limited. Part-time jobs are also available, and have work-from-home arrangements in light of the new normal,” wika ni Tour-ism Secretary Bernadette Romulo-Puyat sa isang press release na ipinalabas kahapon.

Sa pamamagitan ng partnership, bubuksan ng DOT at Concentrix ang mga posisyon para sa customer service representatives, technical support representatives, frontline/specialists, supervisors, trainers, managers, at iba pa para sa human resources and recruitment, finance, IT, at marketing sectors.  Ang lahat ng ito ay applicable para sa on-site at work from home setups sa harap ng ‘new normal’.

“Both the tourism and the BPO industries are people-oriented. We believe in your talent and skills, and we know you will rise above this crisis through this new and exciting undertaking,” sabi ni Puyat.

“Applicants must be at least high school graduates, can comfortably converse in English (knowledge of a foreign language is a plus), have good computer skills, have problem-solving skills, and have a pleasant personality especially when dealing with multiple concerns.”

Ang hiring process ay matatapos sa loob ng wala pang 24 oras matapos ang serye ng online interviews at assessments. Ang mga na-hire na applicants ay ba-bayaran habang nasa training.

“Concentrix operates in over 40 countries across the world, and the Philippines is our bedrock when it comes to investments. More than 30 percent of our staff from a global perspective is actually from the Philippines. The skillset of the people in the hospitality industry are very powerful for us because of their ability to interact with foreign nationals and their customer service orientation,” pahayag ni Concentrix Philippines Vice President Amit Jagga.

Ang virtual regional job fair ay gaganapin sa Sept. 22, 24, 29, at Oct. 1 para sa Luzon Cluster; Sept. 17, 18, at  Oct. 1 para sa Visayas Cluster, at Sept. 15 at 16 para sa Mindanao Cluster.

Ang  registration links para sa nasabing job fair ay iaanunsiyo sa DOT Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/DepartmentOfTourism) at sa Concentrix Philippines Facebook page (www.facebook.com/ConcentrixPH).
