She further said that they want to be a part of the solution in the economic crisis that the community is currently facing as an impact of the worldwide pandemic.

MCC President Dr. Michelle Aguilar-Ong disclosed that they are working on a partnership with MCSAT that shall benefit MCC student applicants. She also added that they are studying the option of fitting the TESDA training offered by MCSAT with MCC’s related degrees for possible ladderized programs. President Ong said, “it will be good to assure MCSAT students that they can always apply for a college degree in MCC whenever they are ready.”
