“I see the CDC as a link which was missing
between the industry and the institution. CDC
can help identify the skills gap and produce
students which meet the industry’s demands.
Moreover, it will also help the students to find
jobs and get career counseling. I like to refer
CDC as a Life Development Center, because it
helps the students in finding jobs and making
career choices which in turn will help the them to
lead a better life.”
