Smart People Get Smarter at VMC University, a Dynamic, New Company-wide Training Program for Employees that Benefits Customers

VMC U Delivers In-house and Custom Training that Makes a Difference in the Service Delivered to our Customers

Redmond, WA (April 17, 2006) — VMC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Volt Information Sciences, Inc., (NYSE: VOL) today announced the launch of a dedicated training division, VMC University. The new company-wide program serves as the central point for all internal and external training needs in VMC’s core service delivery areas of Development, Integration and Quality Assurance, IT Outsourcing and Customer Care solutions.

This multi-functional training organization develops and delivers world class in-house and custom-designed external training programs for a broad spectrum of customer engagements. Its initial focus will be on inbound and outbound call center business models and processes.

“We’re excited about inaugurating VMC University (VMC U) and taking our training solutions to a level where our employees and our customers worldwide can participate and benefit,” said Daryl Mantych, VMC managing director of operations. “VMC believes in the long-term strategic value of investing in the development of a wide range of training programs, modules, courses and sessions for all levels of staff working on VMC customer engagements.”

VMC University is built on the success of a training program originally designed for VMC’s Customer Contact Solutions (CCS) business. Directed by Charlie Freda, the CCS Academy program trains management and delivery personnel on tools, systems, processes, best practices, quality content, and methodologies for the business. The success and value of this program spurred the creation of the expanded, VCM U, which is developing relevant courses for each business unit in partnership with Human Resources, Information Systems, and other VMC departments to roll-out employee-essential training throughout the company.

VCM U’s first phase of training programs spans learning areas such as end-user application training and management development. To enhance training courses, VCM U has also launched a new library resource to make materials, books, white papers and journals available on business, technical and performance subjects.

Additional programs are being planned and developed with the goal of expanding content, resources, and information to better serve our global service teams and customers.
