The Calamba Manpower Development Center (CMDC) is currently offering multiple in-demand courses and programs to their interested applicants. The CMDC Main Campus, CMDC-Annex, and CMDC Canlubang are among the campuses that are currently open.
As per the CMDC announcement, this is a project of Hon. Mayor Justin Marc SB. Chipeco; it is in his plans to offer free courses and training sessions to people who are interested in learning. One of the downsides, and it might just be the only downside, is that the training period runs from October until December 2019 ONLY. No further announcements were made whether the range of the training program will be extended.
