This document outlines the framework for a call center training program. It provides the vision, goals, and expectations for the call center. It describes how agents and coaches will be trained, including developing scripts, time management skills, and addressing fears. It also covers marketing the call center, evaluating the program, and information sessions for agents and coaches. Adults learn best when the training considers their needs, styles, experiences, focuses on skills, and has achievable goals.
