Why join us?
Customer service is taking centre stage! Since the pandemic, people spend more time online than ever, and it’s the companies that offer the best experience that will stand out.
That’s why we’re looking for candidates with a passion for great customer care to help our clients achieve this. Manpower has launched the Customer Service Academy which equips students with the necessary training, certification and employment support to help you launch a successful career in a contact centre.
The Customer Service Academy is one of the solutions Manpower offers as part of our upskilling programme MyPath, which enables our high-potential associates to access jobs and grow in in-demand careers through upskilling opportunities and personalised guidance.
How it works
Our Customer Service Academy offers a programme of individual training, coaching and group sessions designed to provide you with the skills and behaviours you need to be ‘job ready’.
Throughout the programme, we monitor and assess each candidate’s progress, and provide guidance where necessary. The programme is flexible, which means the modules can be completed to suit your schedule.
The courses form part of our MyPath programme, which enables our high-potential associates to access jobs and grow in in-demand careers through upskilling opportunities and personalised guidance. Upon graduation, you will receive certification that will give you the confidence to start or continue your career in the contact centre and customer experience sector.
