Cordillera Career Development College (CCDC) acknowledges its employees’ right to form and join organizations, as stated in Sections 1 and 2 of Article 15 of the Administration, Faculty, and Basic Education Handbooks, and Article 14 of the Non-Teaching Handbook.
The policy is seen in the Cordillera Career Development College Employees Association (CCDC-EA) which automatically provides membership to all employees, irrespective of their position or length of service on hiring. All members have equal rights such as voting, standing for election and taking part in Association activities.
The CCDC-EA is a group representing the employees and advocating for their well-being, professional growth and participation in negotiations with the administration. It also supports members financially when they are in hospital and supports families of deceased members.
Policies and initiatives developed through CCDC foster inclusive workplace representation and help to support Sustainable Development Goal 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) which highlights decent jobs and the freedom of association.
