subject: Bpo In Educational Programs [print this page] It was not long back that the BPO sector was not considered among the mainstream industries. Most thought that the business process outsourcing industry was just a passing fad and before you can spell out those three long words, it will be gone. However, proving the detractors wrong was not asking for too much. The call center industry clicked and did so big time. The industry grew steadily and it fought off the crushing recession with amazing gusto.
While other industries were busy closing down their shutters, the call center services industry was busy in acquisitions and mergers. Finally it came to a situation where it started getting recognition as an industry that offered employment to trained telemarketing agents even in the worst of times. And now, it is getting a stamp of approval from the educational institutes as a serious career option for the youth.
Several educational institutions across the globe are planning to include BPO service as part of their courses. The institutions are tying up with call centers to provide the students with seminars and conferences that provide them with a better idea of how business outsourcing works. The undergraduates can find out the salient features of a telemarketing business. They can know the functions and responsibilities of an answering service agent.
In fact, with call center experts on the panel, they can learn whatever they need to know about the telemarketing services, along with the other call center services. Knowledge of the industry is important to make them aware of the success that they can achieve should they want to work hard and become dedicated BPO service professionals.
Telemarketing teaches a lot about marketing, promotion, branding and selling. Being a telemarketing service agent teaches one more about marketing than business schools and marketing courses can teach you. That is why many marketing courses are including the call center services as part of the curriculum. The young need to know about these areas because the business process outsourcing industry is now expanding it's territories to include other industries as well.
Professionals in other related industries like retail and insurance also come into contact with call centers. If they have had an experience of being coached in call center services, it comes as an added advantage. You get a professional edge over the others which in the course of time may become the reason you achieve greater success as a professional.
The BPO sector has a lot of advantage in the way things are going now. With the educational institutions approving it, the call center services hope to reach out to the young students in a bigger way. You have BPO experts complaining about the quality of telemarketing work every now and then.
With such initiative on the part of industry-renowned finishing schools, the demand for quality telemarketing services agents will push up. There will be a greater influx of talented students taking to the business process outsourcing industry. Fresh talent is always welcome in any industry and this will definitely enrich the business outsourcing sector.
