THE Cagayan de Oro City Council has passed an ordinance establishing the Cagayan de Oro Technical Vocational Institute (CDO-TVI) in an aim to level up the City Government's skills training program especially for the out-of-school youths.

The CDO-TVI will stand at the old site of the Agusan National High School in Zone 2, barangay Agusan, and in other areas of the city.

According to the ordinance authored by committee on education chairperson Councilor Zuzette Magtajas-Daba, there is a need to sustain the gains achieved by the local government unit by expanding its educational program through technical skills and vocational training to the residents.

Daba said this is also an answer to the demand of skilled workers locally and internationally.

CDO-TVI shall undertake center-based and community-based skills and livelihood for students from low-income families, out-of-school youths and the marginalized sector.

It will also offer school-based, Mobile Training Program, enterprise-based and Community-Based curricula.

The CDO-TVI will adopt Technical Education and Skills Development Authority's Unified Programs Registration and Accreditation Systems as well as the Department of Education and Commission on Higher Education's senior high school curriculum for its ladderized courses.
