The Negros Occidental provincial government led by Governor Eugenio Jose Lacson signed a strategic partnership with Teleperformance, a leading global group in digitally integrated business services, headed by its Chief Operating Officer and Country Head Jose Luis Marquez on Wednesday, July 27.
The partnership aims to promote collaboration between Teleperformance and the province through the Negros Occidental Language and Information Technology Center (NOLITC), a recognized talent development hub with expertise in technical vocational education, focused on the information and communications technology and language sector, Dr. Ma. Cristina Orbecido, NOLITC vocational school administrator, said.
Under the agreement, both parties are expected to provide opportunities and enhance the skills of the students and graduates of NOLITC for a career at Teleperformance, subject to the standard screening and recruitment processes, she said.
Teleperformance will likewise provide a venue for seminars, workshops, and training activities for the benefit of the academic institution, Orbecido said.
NOLITC has been an active human resource partner of Teleperformance for over ten years and has helped transform the lives of socio-economically disadvantaged individuals around the province by offering scholarship programs in Contact Center Services and English Language Proficiency, she added.
Marquez, in his meeting with the governor, said that he hopes that through the strengthened engagement with NOLITC, it will be able to deliver a lasting, transformational impact to the province.
Teleperformance also discussed with the governor its Cloud Campus program, a revolutionary virtual workforce platform designed to optimize the customer experience and remote employee engagement in today’s hybrid work environment.
Provincial Administrator Rayfrando Diaz II said the provincial government will support the expansion of TP sites in Negros Occidental that will spur economic growth and bring more job opportunities to Negrenses. The governor is also committed to building another cyber center facility for IT-BPM locators, he added.
Orbecido said NOLITC is keen on doing the cloud campus program and impact sourcing project with TP in the coming months, which is very timely with the completion of their new campus in Talisay City next year.
Witnesses to the MOA signing were Diaz, Levi Trio, TP Marketing Manager for VisMin, and Orbecido.
Teleperformance employs around 55,000 people in the Philippines and operates over 40,000 workstations in 23 locations, including Bacolod City.*
