CMC
Welcomes Alumni Beneficiaries of JobStart Philippines Program
Empowering
CMC Graduates Through Technical Training and Internship Opportunities
Central
Mindanao Colleges, in its continuous commitment to graduate employability and
youth development, proudly welcomed three alumni beneficiaries under the
JobStart Philippines Program during a brief ceremony held at the CMC Main
Campus.
JobStart
Philippines is a flagship program of the Department of Labor and Employment
(DOLE), designed to enhance the employability of young Filipinos by offering
life skills training, technical training, internships, and possible employment
opportunities. Implemented in partnership with the Public Employment Service
Office Kidapawan, the program helps bridge the gap between education and
employment, especially for fresh graduates.
The
following CMC alumni have been selected as JobStart beneficiaries:
Ms.
Kaye Ronquillo, a fresh graduate of the Bachelor of Secondary Education Major
in English, who is now assigned at the CMC Library;
Ms.
Glaiza Lanaja, a 2024 graduate of Bachelor of Science in Criminology, now
placed at the Center for Job Placement; and
Mr.
Christian Dave Pinantao, a 2024 graduate of Bachelor of Secondary Education
Major in Science, who will be undergoing training at the Institute for Quality
Assurance and Excellence.
These
young professionals will be undergoing a structured training-to-employment
process that includes technical training and internship experience within their
assigned departments. Should they perform well during their placement, they may
be considered for full employment—opening the door to sustainable career
growth.
This
initiative aligns with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4: Quality Education,
and SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth, as it supports inclusive,
equitable, and accessible learning and employment pathways for youth. CMC
continues to support programs that build the capacity of its graduates to
thrive in both local and global work environments.
CMC
congratulates Ms. Ronquillo, Ms. Lanaja, and Mr. Pinantao as they begin this
new journey—not only as alumni, but as professionals who embody the values of
excellence, integrity, and service.
We
are proud of you and excited to see you shine in your respective fields.
Welcome back to your CMC family!
