Calapan City – In a momentous ceremony held at the TESDA MIMAROPA Regional Office on December 2, 2025, Simeon Suan Vocational and Technical College (SSVTC) reaffirmed its commitment to not just educate, but to employ.
Headed by VSA Israfel L. Mangui, SSVTC signed a strategic Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) and key recruitment and industry partners to create a seamless “training-to-employment” pipeline.
