Outsourcing Issues
by Carol Kendrick on March 28, 2007
From experience, I could say that out of 20 applicants for a call center position, you would consider yourself lucky if you could hire 5 for the said job. Three or four out of these 5 people would need to undergo training in order to really be a "qualified" employee in the call center industry.
The problem why there is a shortage of quality workers in these outsourcing destinations is the lack of English skills from these countries. Though most of these people are able to comprehend and communicate the English language, the skills needed are sadly lacking.
Personally, I think the only solution to this problem is an early training implemented to these population and it should begin in an early age.

I am an American expat teaching English in the Philippines as well as tutoring Chinese nationals here. However the BPO industry in the Philippines is also growing quickly and I am considering trying to get work as a free lance BPO trainer. However I want to get some more specialized training other than just my four year colege degree and ESL/EFL teaching certificate.
Can anybody recommend any BPO training programs online? Something along the lines of - helping me prepare to train prospective call center agents-

Customer facing operations such as call centres, should not be outsourced. The customer interface must be maintained as a core in-house skill. It is in the back office processes, such as handling insurance claims, and software that organisations can truly leverage offshore skills.
With no requirement for customer interaction, there is no risk of alienating a customer or making a mistake through miscommunication. Highly trained, best of breed staff can deliver increased value and speed to market whilst enabling organisations to keep control of their customers in-house.
