Sinclair Workforce Development, in partnership with PNC Financial Services Group, Inc., has created a week-long training program in response to a growing need for appropriately-skilled individuals to perform entry-level customer service and mortgage servicing roles in a call center environment. Each segment of this program focuses on introducing time-tested, effective concepts to increase the knowledge, skills, and abilities of these future financial services and customer service employees.
In addition to collaborating on the course content, PNC has committed to
interview all interested participants that successfully complete the course.
With the successful completion of this course, along with the submission of your online application, students are guaranteed an interview with PNC for one of the following areas: Customer Service, Collections, or Single Point of Contact. The STARTING WAGES for these 3 roles are $15-$16 per hour PLUS an incentive that can be up to a max of $450 per month!
According to Hope Arthur, Director of Workforce Development at Sinclair Community College, ideal candidates for this program “have recently graduated high school or are in college, but are not sure what they want to do for a career AND with people interested in transitioning into a customer service career.”Successful graduates of this program will receive a Sinclair Community College Workforce Development Certificate of Completion and the nationally recognized Customer Service Certification (CSC) Designation endorsed by the International Customer Service Association.
