This collaboration seeks to help produce competent and reliable technical workforce aligned with TESDA’s NC II and NC III regulations and certifications.

“This memorandum of agreement signing signifies more than just a formal commitment, it represents a milestone that collaborates effort between TESDA-Navotas, CMIP, and the City of Navotas. Together, we are dedicated to achieving a common goal, the establishment of an accessible, relevant, and conducive training facility for Filipinos who wish to learn and improve their technical skills,” shares Anna Marie Alejandro, General Manager of CMIP.

“We are certain that this partnership will open a lot of doors of opportunities for our community. This will especially be of huge help to our trainees studying HVAC who, hopefully, will also become a Midea employee in the future. On behalf of every Navoteño that this collaboration will be able to support, we are very grateful for this partnership,” shares Hon. John Rey Tiangco, City Mayor of Navotas.
