If you are dreaming of a well-paying job in India`s big BPO industry, here`s something to give you a head start. Indira Gandhi Nation
al Open University (IGNOU), a popular distance learning university, is offering a six-month online course to train you up.
The Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) claims to have got a good response to the "Business Process Outsourcing-finance and accounts" course, and feel the BPO industry in India will welcome the trained lot.
Most of those enrolling for the course are students of commerce and accountancy. R Krishna Prasad is pursuing his bachelor`s degree in commerce from Bangalore.
"I am a second year student pursuing BCom (Hons) and I want to join a BPO firm after my graduation, so I enrolled in this course. I think it is familiarising me with the work culture of the industry," Prasad told IANS.
The diploma course that has an intake of 50 students is structured in such a way that apart from the classes conducted on weekends, the students are exposed to an `online lab` which will simulate the working environment of a BPO.
According to the National Association of Software and Service Companies (Nasscom), over 1.1 million people are employed in the BPO industry in India. A significant number are below the age of 30. The industry is expected to employ 2.5-3 million professionals by 2010, contributing 7-8 percent of the national GDP.
