The City College of Cagayan de Oro celebrates the 6th anniversary of the Cagayan de Oro Technical Vocational Institute (CDO-TVI), the institution's former name. Established in 2018 through City Ordinance No. 13473-2018, authored by Councilor Suzette Magtajas-Daba, CDO-TVI focused on empowering out-of-school youth and other underserved community members by providing free, quality skills training to bridge them to employment in various industries.
Since then, the institution has produced over 3,000 tech-voc graduates with qualifications across the construction, tourism, and health sectors. It has secured valuable sponsorships and partnerships from different industries and companies to support its scholar-trainees, ensuring they become future-ready skilled workers.
Now that it has transitioned into a premier LGU-led Higher Education Institution (HEI), driven by Mayor Klarex Uy’s RISE Agenda, it aims to empower more Kagay-anon youth through free and quality 4-year degree education, further helping them improve their lives and transform their dreams into reality.
The success of the City College of CDO reflects the unwavering dedication of both current and former personnel, trainers, non-teaching staff, and partner agencies, whose efforts have significantly impacted the lives of many Kagay-anon youth.
