PanAsiatic Call Center will start an employment caravan this week in the barangays in Bacolod City.

Its site director Siony Hijara said they started an employment caravan in southern Negros two weeks ago in partnership with the Office of the Governor, through the Negros Occidental Language and information Technology.

Board member Gatuslao helped facilitate their visit to the different municipalities and cities in the 5th District of Negros Occidental like Himamaylan, Hinigaran, Moises Padilla, Binalbagan and La Castellana where they were able to gather hundreds of applicants, she said.

Hijara said some applicants are ready to go through their recruitment process while they feel others should go through the 100-day course of NOLITC.

She said they have signed a memorandum of agreement with Negros Occidental Gov. Alfredo Marañon Jr. Wednesday because they are sponsoring scholarship grants for applicants who need more training to qualify for the call center job.

Their employment caravan will continue and starting this week, they will conduct more employment caravan within Bacolod City, she said.

Starting Wednesday she will visit two barangays everyday because they need a minimum of 100 people every week now that they are opening the second center beside the Bacolod City Government Center, she said.

She said she hopes that before the end of this year they could hire 1,000 to 2,000 employees because they will need 4,000 employees for the second center.

Hijara said they are spending for people to go to school or train in courses to make sure they qualify for the call center job and have started their partnership with NOLITC and finalizing their agreement with other training centers.*CGS
