Stream Global Services, Inc. (NYSE/AMEX: SGS) today announced
that its Watertown, New York service center hosted a visit from
Congressman Bill Owens, representative from New York’s 23rd
Congressional District. A champion of economic development in the
Upstate region, Congressman Owens saw firsthand the operations of
Stream, which is the second largest private employer in the
Tri-county area. In addition to learning about Stream’s business,
the Congressman discussed ways in which the government might
encourage the creation of additional jobs in the Watertown area
with the company’s management team.
“The creation of jobs is the number one issue for our district,
and I believe it is the role of government to do everything
possible to help get the people of Upstate New York back to work as
quickly as possible,” explained Congressman Owens. “Stream Global
Services is a clear example of how a partnership between government
and private enterprise can generate employment opportunities right
here in New York and across the US,” Owens went on to explain.
“I would like to thank Congressman Owens for visiting our
Watertown service center and offering us his support,” responded
Stream Chief Marketing Officer Jeff Frank. “We had a very
constructive meeting about future employment opportunities for his
constituents, and the types of skills and competencies required of
potential Stream employees,” he concluded.
Stream currently employs approximately 400 professionals who
support multiple clients from its site at 146 Arsenal Street in
Watertown, and is continuing to hire skilled employees as business
permits. Stream has been located in Watertown for almost nine
years. Stream’s competitive advantage in Watertown is its dynamic
workforce drawn from the skilled local population. Stream employs
several thousand professionals at nine service centers in the U.S.,
which are located in cities across the country.
“Our U.S. based clients gain the advantage of onshore service
delivery and an experienced workforce located in Northern New
York,” said Bryan Black, Director, Site Operations for Stream
Watertown. “For example, the military community at nearby Fort Drum
provides us with numerous high-quality job candidates and we are
proud to have built a strong relationship,” Black stated.
