The Government of Nova Scotia and NSBI have announced that the province is supporting the growth of Blue Ocean Contact Centers into the future with a five-year payroll rebate of up to $1,950,000. 

"Blue Ocean is a true Nova Scotia success story," said Graham Steele, Minister of Finance, on behalf of Economic and Rural Development Minister, Percy Paris. "Today’s announcement is a great example of how local companies are thriving despite tough economic times." 

Blue Ocean offers multilingual service and support for organizations across North America. It has offices in Halifax and Saint John, where it provides customer care and support services for various clients in industries like telecommunications, tourism and hospitality. 

"Our growth is directly related to the quality of our employees here in Halifax," said Elizabeth Currie, Chief Operating Officer of Blue Ocean. "Companies are prioritizing customer relationship management, and our business, with its focus on strong customer service, is growing to meet demand." 

Blue Ocean is hiring immediately and is seeking people with customer service skills and a willingness to learn. Bilingualism is an asset.
