The road to one million outsourcing jobs in 2010 is not as easy as government and the private sector would have thought.
In an interview, Commission on Information and Communications Technology (CICT) chairman Ray Anthony Roxas-Chua III said the outsourcing industry demand is expected to grow by 50 percent year-on-year for the next three years.
With that demand, government led by the CICT and the Department of Trade and Industry Regional Operations Group, in tandem with the Business Processing Association of the Philippines (BPAP) are now identifying more than 20 cities where they can develop and recruit more talent.
These three groups are now working to push these cities as part of a strategy to "expand" the local outsourcing industry outside of Metro Manila, Chua said.
"We want to establish regional information and communications technology hubs so that not all the businesses are just going to Metro Manila," the CICT executive said.
