Cordillera Career Development College (CCDC) promotes lifelong professional learning through specialized workshops, entrepreneurship education, and structured capability-development initiatives.
By sharing academic expertise and collaborating with government agencies and community organizations, the College supports practical skills development among educators, entrepreneurs, and public officials.
Developing Teaching Competencies Through LITERA
On October 13, 2025, the College of Teacher Education Extension Program, in collaboration with the Mentor’s Society, conducted the LITERA Seminar-Workshop at the CCDC JMM Building Board Room.
The activity featured sessions on foundational literacy instruction, reading strategies, and professional classroom practices.
Ms. Bliss T. Bacacao introduced Project ALISTO, while Ms. Juvy O. Baso facilitated a workshop on the Marungko Approach. Ms. Kristine Joy C. Ginging discussed professional practices in dealing with learners.
The seminar-workshop demonstrates CCDC’s capacity to facilitate specialized training in literacy instruction and professional teaching competencies.
Strengthening Grassroots Justice Administration Through Collaborative Capacity-Building
Cordillera Career Development College (CCDC), in collaboration with the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG)–Benguet, the Provincial Government of Benguet, and the Benguet Multi-Stakeholder Advisory Council (MSAC), supported the implementation of the Barangay Newly-Elected Officials (BNEO) Special Course on Local Legislation and Katarungang Pambarangay.
The program successfully trained more than 600 barangay officials, including Punong Barangays, Barangay Secretaries, and Lupon Members, from all 13 municipalities of Benguet through five batches of training.
Focused on strengthening grassroots justice delivery, the course enhanced participants’ knowledge and practical competencies in mediation, conciliation, and arbitration within the Barangay Justice System. These competencies are essential to resolving community disputes, strengthening local governance, and promoting peace and order.
Through its participation in this multi-stakeholder initiative, CCDC demonstrated its commitment to lifelong learning, community education, and professional capacity development beyond formal academic instruction. The partnership highlights how higher education institutions can contribute to strengthening local governance through collaborative educational initiatives.
Continuing Practical Education Through Sumika-Sika Tako
The Sumika-Sika Tako Series provides an institutional framework for practical learning involving entrepreneurship, financial literacy, food safety, nutrition, and livelihood-related competencies.
Through collaboration among academic departments and community stakeholders, CCDC supports continuing opportunities for individuals to acquire knowledge relevant to their professional and economic activities.
Supporting Entrepreneurs Through Bookkeeping Education
In March 2024, CCDC conducted its First MSME Business Expo, which included a free bookkeeping seminar facilitated by the College of Accountancy.
The seminar provided practical instruction in financial recordkeeping and business management to entrepreneurs and small business owners.
The activity illustrates the College’s contribution to entrepreneurship education through focused, non-degree skills-development opportunities.
