It is also the company&#x27;s way of reminding the youth about the BPO industry and its impact on the Philippine economy and beyond.</p><p>“I value education and it’s these kids who are going to go ahead, stay in school and learn lots. They are going to be the future of the BPO organizations. This event is a perfect way to marry our CSR with the future of the company as well as the country,” he said.</p><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img src="http://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/2017/life/05/25/concentrix-2.jpg"/></figure></div><p>Toth added that there are more education sector-directed CSR plans to be implemented this year.</p><p>“This is just the start but we will do more sustainable and meaningful projects with the schools. I would like my team to contribute more and touch the lives of those less fortunate. It’s always good to give back to the community,” he said.</p><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img src="http://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/2017/life/05/25/concentrix-3.jpg"/></figure></div><p>To know more about Concentrix, visit <a href="www.concentrix.com" target="_blank">www.concentrix.com</a> or follow its social media accounts <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ConcentrixPH" target="_blank">Facebook.com/ConcentrixPH</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/ConcentrixPH" target="_blank">Twitter.com/ConcentrixPH</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ConcentrixPH/" target="_blank">Instagram.com/ConcentrixPH</a>.</p>
