THRISSUR, Dec 14, 2011 -- To give girls belonging to backward classes an edge in the competitive job market, the Kerala SC/ST Women's Welfare Association has decided to introduce BPO training programme for them in the district headquarters.

The association's legal advisor advocate Sunil M Karani said on Tuesday that the short-term courses were aimed at equipping tribal students with the nitty-gritty of the BPO industry.

"The free course will be held with the support of BPO training centres and placement cells in every district. Our aim is to improve the professional standard of these girls and help them to be on a par with their urban colleagues," he said.

Minister for the welfare of backward communities P K Jayalakshmi had promised financial aid for the training programme, especially designed for SC/ST girls who had passed plus-two or an equivalent course.

"The association will soon invite call centre institutes to train the girls. A few call centre institutes based in the southern districts have already shown interest to train them and the response from the girls for the programme has also been encouraging.

We have already received 100 applications. Though we do not assure them jobs, we are sure the BPO companies will approach us for the same," Marani said.
