Creating Meaningful Careers through Job Readiness

CMC Champions Student Success at PESOMAC

As the demands of the modern workforce continue to evolve, job readiness has emerged as the true measure of educational success.

At Central Mindanao Colleges (CMC), this belief drives a transformative mission: to empower students not only to graduate, but to thrive in the world of work with confidence, competence, and purpose.

Affirming this commitment, CMC actively participated in the 3rd Monthly Meeting and Learning Session of the Public Employment Service Office Managers of Cotabato (PESOMAC), held on March 28, 2025, at Park Lay Suites, Kidapawan City. The session centered on the implementation of Department Order (DO) 239-A, a critical DOLE policy designed to enhance the efficiency and impact of local Public Employment Service Offices (PESOs).

Representing CMC was Mr. Jerson John Villegas, LPT, Job Placement Officer, who joined regional leaders and labor service advocates in advancing local employment solutions. In his address, Villegas emphasized the importance of institutional alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)—particularly SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth)—as part of CMC’s holistic approach to workforce development.

“At CMC, job readiness is not a program—it’s a promise. Every student we guide, every graduate we produce, must leave equipped not only with knowledge but with purpose, confidence, and clear career pathways,” said Villegas.

DO 239-A outlines updated operational guidelines for PESOs, ensuring consistency, efficiency, and inclusivity in employment services. The session served as a venue for exchanging innovations, best practices, and policy responses to the changing needs of both job seekers and industries.

CMC’s active involvement highlights its enduring dedication to creating meaningful career pathways for students. Beyond academic instruction, the college implements integrated job placement programs, employer linkages, career coaching, and industry-aligned learning experiences—ensuring that learners are career-ready and purpose-driven.

As PESOMAC continues to lead in fostering regional collaboration among PESO offices, academic institutions, and private sector partners, CMC remains steadfast in its role: shaping futures, one meaningful career at a time.
