In a significant development aimed at addressing unemployment and the job-skill mismatch in the Northern Mindanao and Davao City areas, Makotek Computer Sales, Inc., a leading supplier of brand new and genuine Information and Technology products, has entered into a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with TESDA X (Technical Education and Skills Development Authority), represented through TESDA Misamis Oriental and the Provincial Training Center - Misamis Oriental. This partnership, formalized on March 20, 2024, at the Limketkai Luxe Hotel in Cagayan de Oro City, is a testament to the shared vision of enhancing employment opportunities and skills development within the community.
