Employability test for BPO industry

COIMBATORE: A National Employability Test for the Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) industry will be conducted by MeritTrac Services, a skills assessments company. It will be held across 11 cities in three phases, the first one being in Indore and Coimbatore on October 7.

Companies are looking at hiring talent from colleges all over the country.

The test helps them in identifying talent even from smaller cities and not just the metros, says Madan Padaki, Chief Executive Officer of MeritTrac Services.

It aims at providing equal opportunity to all fresh graduates to demonstrate their skills, especially those in Tier II cities such as Coimbatore.

The second phase of the test will be held in Nagpur, Kochi, Hyderabad, Delhi and Mangalore and the third phase in Pune, Chennai, Aurangabad and Jaipur.

Any graduate of 2007 and 2008 batches looking for a BPO/Information Technology Enabled Services job from any of these 11 cities could take the test by paying a nominal fee.

Prominent BPO players in the country such as Firstsource, Patni, Reuters, Mphasis and Wipro BPO will be endorsing the programme.

Candidates making the cut-off criteria of the endorsing companies will have their scores showcased to the company and will be short-listed for further selection based on the company’s requirements.

Candidates will also get a scorecard validating their skills and also listing the areas where they need to improve. Understanding their weak areas will help them focus on those aspects.

Candidates could visit www.tracskills.com for registration.
