Cordillera Career Development College (CCDC) continues its commitment to community empowerment by expanding access to vital health, wellness, and educational services through its existing community extension and institutional programs. These initiatives are grounded on the belief that education goes beyond the classroom—reaching families, communities, and vulnerable groups who need support the most.
At the heart of these efforts are two flagship non-formal education programs: Sumika-sika Series, which brings capacity-building activities directly to communities, and Ashal Series, which supports continuous learning within the CCDC workforce. These programs tackle essential topics such as nutrition, food safety, mental health and well-being, parenting support, and disaster preparedness—empowering participants with practical knowledge that improves daily living and strengthens community resilience.
One key focus of the recent sessions is nutrition and food safety, emphasizing how proper dietary choices and safe food handling practices contribute to overall health. Participants learn about nutritional balance, sanitation practices, and avoiding foodborne illnesses—knowledge especially important for students, families, and food service workers.
CCDC also reinforces mental wellness, hosting activities grounded in the PERMA model of positive psychology. Through seminars and interactive stations, students and employees engage in self-reflection, coping techniques, mindfulness, and peer support. These programs help build emotional resilience and reduce stigma around mental health.
In addition, campus-based organizations and NSTP–CWTS classes continue to extend service to partner communities. Projects such as health and hygiene promotion sessions, the Aqua Care water storage improvement program for child development centers, and Operation Kajo, a relief initiative for typhoon-affected schools, all demonstrate CCDC’s commitment to ensuring that basic needs—clean water, sanitation, health education, and learning continuity—are accessible to all.
These integrated programs highlight CCDC’s direction toward education that is responsive, compassionate, and community-rooted. By pairing academic learning with civic responsibility, the institution continues to bridge gaps in basic services, strengthen well-being, and uplift communities—true to its mission of bringing education and empowerment closer to t
