“We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men; and among those fibers, as sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as effects.” ― Herman Melville

HCDC is one of the prestigious schools for maritime education in the Davao Region. The college has been working to ensure a higher level of maritime education and training in the nation for many years. In keeping with this, the college has introduced the Erasmus+ maritime education mobility program. This program has enabled students to have a great opportunity to experience and gain exposure to the global community through the maritime education mobility program offered by Erasmus+. In addition, the endeavor has given more opportunities to study at several maritime institutions and universities throughout Europe. Ms. Sheryl Urdaneta, heads the HCDCs Center for Linkages, Internationalization, and Language Studies. She has recently shared the details of the mobility program for maritime education under Erasmus+ during the European Higher Education Fair 2022.
