In an exciting development for the Philippine ICT and education sectors, Grandstream Networks, CENASCO, and CITE are currently in talks for a partnership aimed at elevating technical education, industry collaboration, and workforce readiness.
At the exploratory meeting on April 9, 2025, the potential alliance aims to prepare the next generation of ICT talents the skills, exposure, and opportunities they need to thrive in the evolving digital landscape.
Though still under discussion, the proposed collaboration envisions Grandstream Networks to offer training, certification programs, workshops, webinars, and hands-on learning opportunities for CITE students and faculty. It also includes providing demo units and connecting certified students to job opportunities through its network of distributors.
While the memorandum of agreement (MOA) is still in the works, the commitment and enthusiasm from all three parties signal a shared belief in the impact this partnership could make—not just on students, but on the broader ICT ecosystem.
By aligning industry expertise, academic rigor, and community engagement, this collaboration has the potential to become a model for sustainable and impactful partnerships in tech education.
