IN MY OWN WORDS - JOHN, EOCI CALL CENTER

John now has a new career path from his training in OCE

"I have over 5 1/2 years along with Garment Factory (Cutting Table) through OCE. I had to leave Garment Factory to do some legal work. However all along my time at the EOCI OCE Call Center it has helped me alot in bettering-improving-polishing my communication skills. It has also allowed for positive reviews to be used in future resume for employment once released and helped me to save money for release."
