Cebu City gives P2-M aid to call center training

-
CEBU CITY — The city council has authorized Mayor Tomas Osmeña to enter into an agreement with the University of Southern Philippines Foundation for a P2-million financial aid for the foundation’s "study now, pay later" program for those interested in a career in call centers.

The council approved a resolution authored by councilors Edu Rama Jr., Jocelyn Pesquera and Christopher Alix to provide financial assistance to the USP Foundation by virtue of the Local Government Code, which allows local governments to provide assistance, financial or otherwise, to people’s and non-government organizations "for economic, socially oriented, environmental, or cultural projects to be implemented within its territorial jurisdiction."

The USP Foundation requested assistance from the city government through the Cebu City Private Sector Organizations Evaluation and Monitoring Board.

In a resolution, the board said the foundation’s project proposal, work and financial plan, and other relevant documents conformed to the requirements of the city government.

The study now, pay later program would be in partnership with the different call centers in the city where the recipients would undergo training for call center jobs.
