Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) a game-changer for Cape Town
12 December 2019
The sector currently employs almost 60 000 individuals in the metro. These impressive achievements are set to be improved as the Boomerang Call Centre doubles their workforce with the aim of employing 1 000 individuals by the end of 2020.
Last week, the Executive Mayor, Alderman Dan Plato and I had the pleasure of opening an extension of the Boomerang Call Centre, which will see them doubling their current employment opportunities from 200 to 400.
The Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) sector, which involves the provision of contact centre and telephonic customer services, is truly living up to the projections of being a key growth sector. Just last year the sector created nearly 6 000 jobs in our city.
There is great demand for these services by both local and international businesses. Therefore, we will continue working with our partners and industry to support this sector and help to establish many more call centres in all parts of the city.
