Call Centre Newsflash

August 2009

Call Centre Reception
The Call Centre became fully operational at the beginning of 2008, when the training facility was put into service. The Call Centre staff realised early on that delivering on our motto "Delivering Service Excellence" - was going to be a huge challenge! But since we have an obligation to live up to it, we will continue to strive to fulfil this motto.

Waiting Area
2009 started out well with the enrolment of 53 new students for the first intake of the year - definitely a record! All three training venues were occupied and the entire Call Centre was alive and buzzing with excitement.

Students in Class
The Call Centre operates according to trimesters and therefore has three intakes per year. The second intake enrolled during May 2009 and completed their Final Practical and Written Assessments during the week of 27 - 31 July 2009. Screening and Selection for the final intake of the year will commence of 1 September 2009.

Practical Training
The Call Centre is planning an exciting Open Day on 2 September 2009 at 10:00. We are inviting Grade 12 learners from all Secondary Schools in the area, as well as anyone interested in a career in the Call Centre industry. You are also invited to come and attend this exciting and informative event!

EEC Central Switchboard
On behalf of the College, we are also proud to announce that the switchboard of the College moved to the Call Centre - BPO Section. All calls to all Campuses and Central Office will now go through the (011) 730 6600 number and are now handled by two very capable switchboard operators.

The Call Centre is gearing towards making a difference in alleviating the skills shortage in the area by training Call Cebtre Agents for the fastest growing industry in the world! We have wonderful prospects of Partnerships in the near future that will truly set our Call Centre on the map!

We will keep you posted!
