outsourcing (ICT/BPO) are ranked No. 1 in terms of vacancies in this
Freeport during the last quarter of this year.
In a report by the Customer Services Department (CSD) to Clark
Development Corporation (CDC) President Felipe Antonio B. Remollo,
some 2,222 workers or 75 percent of the total 3,008 job vacancies are
needed by the ICT/BPO firms in Clark.
CSD manager Rodem Perez said the ICT/BPO-related services include web
designers and developers, programmers, technical support operators,
Linux and Windows Systems administrators, English online teachers, and
call center agents.
The CSD report said both Cyber City Teleservices, Inc. and Sutherland
Global Services each has vacancies of 500, Nozomi Fortune Services,
400, and Ivonline Contents Center, Inc., 200 new workers.
Other with significant job openings are Advanpoint (90), Clark On Line
It Hub (50), Mepcon Phils., Inc (170), Services Resources, Inc. (55),
GFL System Clark Inc. (105), and Global Standard English Learning
Center (75), among others.
Next to ICT/BPO is the industrial (electronic) or the semiconductor
sector which is in need of 340 new personnel or 10.2 percent vacancies
to be filled up before the end of the year.
Among those firms are the Texas Instruments Clark which is in need of
300 personnel before the end of the year while Nanox Phils., Inc.,
Phoenix Semiconductor Phils. Corporation, Poongsan Microtec Phils.,
Corporation, and SMK Electronics (Phils.) Corporation have also
several openings for this year.
Moreover, there is a noticeable shift in locators' preferences for
applicants who have had college credits at the very least.
CSD's latest report reflects a preference for college level applicants
(53 percent or almost 1,600), and college graduates (20 percent or
more than 600).
In the previous months, job vacancies for high school graduates
accounted for more than 50 percent of total workforce requirements for
the Clark Freeport.
Perez explained that the shift in locators' preferences can be
attributed to CSD's continuous advertisement of job vacancies and the
twice-annual Jobs Fair that his department coordinates with all
stakeholders.
