About Us:

In 2018, the Cagayan de Oro Technical Vocational Institute (CDO-TVI) was established by virtue of City Ordinance 13473-2018, with Councilor Suzette Magtajas-Daba as the principal author. This Technical-Vocational Institute is proudly owned and operated by the Local Government of Cagayan de Oro, focusing on offering TESDA-accredited programs primarily in the construction and tourism sectors. These qualifications include Carpentry NC II, Plumbing NC I & NC II, Shielded Metal Arc NC I & NC II, Electrical Installation & Maintenance NC II, and Housekeeping NC II. These programs were chosen strategically to cater to Cagayan de Oro's growing metropolization, with a particular emphasis on construction and tourism sectors. CDO-TVI's mission was to provide free center-based and community-based technical skills training, prioritizing out-of-school youth and low-income families. CDO-TVI’s physical location is at Barangay Agusan, District 2, Cagayan de Oro City.

In 2021, CDO-TVI responded to the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic by offering Barangay Health Services NC II, equipping and empowering Barangay Health Workers in partnership with the City Health Office.

With a change in leadership in July 2022, former 1st District Congressman Hon. Rolando “Klarex” Uy assumed the role of Mayor of Cagayan de Oro City. One of his top priorities, as articulated in his RISE CDO Governance Platform, was to provide access to quality education, leading to the vision of establishing a City College.

In 2023, City Ordinance 14564-2023 was passed, paving the way for the creation of the City College of Cagayan de Oro. This ordinance expanded the mandate of CDO-TVI, transforming it into a higher education institution offering not only tech-voc programs but also diploma and bachelor's degree programs, to be monitored by the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) and the Commission on Higher Education (CHED). The establishment of the City College was a result of a comprehensive process, including the formation of Technical Working Groups, extensive consultations, and focus group discussions. The City College of Cagayan de Oro will operate as a multi-campus institution, with campuses in Barangay Agusan (the existing CDO-TVI Campus), Barangay Kauswagan, Barangay Puerto (El Gaucho), and the main campus in Barangay Dansolihon, which was made possible through a usufruct agreement allocating a 60-hectare ancestral domain by the Higaonon Indigenous Peoples of Nahilaran and the City Government of Cagayan de Oro. This expansion aims to bring higher education opportunities closer to the youth residing in upland barangays, addressing the geographic gap that previously existed.

In the same year, the newly established City College initiated a partnership with MeldCx, an international Artificial Intelligence company, and piloted a 6-month training program on Practical Artificial Intelligence for sixteen (16) out-of-school youth.

In addition to the existing tech-voc programs, the City College is set to pilot new programs in 2024, including Trainers’ Methodology NC II, Emergency Medical Services NC II, Electrical Installation and Maintenance NC III, Bachelor of Arts in Communication, Bachelor of Technology and Livelihood Education, Bachelor of Technical-Vocational Teacher Education, and training programs on Artificial Intelligence and emerging technologies. These programs reflect the institution's commitment to providing a diverse and comprehensive educational experience to meet the needs of its students and the evolving demands of the local and global labor markets.

Vision

“A City College that nurtures and produces global citizens supported by cutting edge technologies for innovation and excellence by 2033.”

Mission

“Our mission is to provide transformative and inclusive learning driven by cutting-edge technologies, including artificial intelligence that equip the institution and the community to create innovative, relevant, and data-driven solutions for local and global impact.

We are committed to addressing the needs of the Cagayan de Oro youth and of the indigenous peoples’ communities by respecting and incorporating culture and tradition to address societal challenges and drive positive change.

We actively contribute to sustainable development goals by forging strategic partnerships, engaging relevant research and extension, and equipping our graduates with professionally-aligned competencies.”

It shall equip students with relevant skills, knowledge and practical experiences to secure meaningful and sustainable employment.

Web portal: https://services.cagayandeoro.gov.ph:8087/cityscholar/

About Us

As part of the administration’s RISE agenda to improve human development through access to quality education, the City Scholarships Office offers tertiary education scholarship grants to poor but deserving students of Cagayan de Oro.

VISION

A premiere Scholarship program in the country dedicated to producing scholar-leaders that are grounded, skilled, and catalysts of change in their communities.

MISSION

The City Scholarships Office seeks to empower young Kagay-anons by providing scholarships to deserving students who aim to finish tertiary education.

As a Youth Formation arm, CSO aims to sustain students from admission to graduation through Academic Enhancement Programs, Leadership Development and Ladderized Formation. It seeks to form and educate next-generation leaders of the City.

To help alleviate poverty, CSO prepares scholars for employment and income-generating opportunities through Enrolment to Placement sessions. CSO also partners with local employers and institutions to accommodate alumni scholars for local employment.

The Need

The City Government's intent to alleviate the lives of every Kagay-anon family birthed the 2018 Scholarship Code, which covers a comprehensive and inclusive opportunity for deserving and qualified students regardless of culture, status, race, or political color and gives priority to those who are in the margins.

The Response

Authored by Councilor Suzette Magtajas-Daba, Chair of the Committee on Education in the City Council, together with the Members of the City Council, approved the 2018 Scholarship Code. This milestone enabled more scholarship slots and expanded scholarship types to six categories: (1) Performance-Based Type, full scholarships for students with exceptional academic standing and leadership potential, (2) Income-based Type for average students from low-income families yet desire to finish tertiary education. These two categories are offered to SHS graduates and incoming college students. The third Type, the (3) Technical-Vocational scholarship, is provided for students who want to pursue a career in the technical-vocational field. This scholarship is directly handled by the newly opened CDO-TVI, a city-owned technical-vocational school. The fourth and fifth types of scholarships, the (4) Research Grant and (5) Graduate Studies which offer law and medical courses, are in the pipeline to be launched in 2023. The sixth Type, (6) Financial Assistance or Partial Scholarships, is open to upper-class students who perform academically and need financial subsidies.

The Program

At present, the number of scholars looms up to 8,000 in 2019. The administration of Mayor Rolando "Klarex" Uy admitted 2,000 new scholars in 2022. In 2023, 2,000 more scholars will be added including the medical and law scholars.

The Benefits

All scholars enjoy the privilege of free tuition and matriculation, and a monthly stipend. Also, scholars will go through four (4) formation levels under the Iskolar Leaders Academy (ISLA). The Academy is designed to cater to year-level appropriate interventions to help sustain students in the program.

First Year: Module S: Self- Discover

This is to allow students to discover more of their inner potentials and enable them to make a self-concept of how they want to be in the future.

Second Year: Module L: Leadership

With the believe that every scholar is a leader, this module aims to form young men and women to be future leaders in the City

Third Year: Module C: Community Engagement

This is designed to broaden the horizon of our scholars by making them see realities and propose solutions in the lens of their course of study in school.

Fourth Year: Module N: Nation- Building

Now in their fourth year, scholars are equipped with skills necessary for them to be employable at work. This is also to build patriotism and nationalism with the hope to pay forward and become catalysts of change in their own locality.

Our Partners

Partner Schools. To seal the partnership among schools, the Memorandum of Agreement was signed. This agreement is a manifestation of a strong and collaborative relationship between the City Government and the eleven (11) partner institutions, namely:
