Quality Education for IT-BPO Philippines
June 14, 2011 | Leave a Comment
The information technology-business process outsourcing (IT-BPO) industry expands at a phenomenal pace.
According to the Business Processing Association of the Philippines (BPAP), even if the sunshine industry contributes to the economy in a significant way, the communication and technical skill set of Filipinos with the potential to join the growing IT-BPO sector has to be improved.

There is a need to adjust to the rapid growth that the IT-BPO industry is posting. It all starts with quality education.
