The Marvelous College of
Technology, Inc. (MCTI) began as Marvelous Institute of Technology College,
Inc. (MITCI) and was registered with Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
on January 8, 2008.
MITCI was organized through the
combined efforts of a group of educators, businessmen and a good number of
professionals, with the end view of putting up a school that shall enjoy
competitive marketing position, by offering quality educational technical
programs with a much reasonable/affordable rates on tuition and other fees that
will greatly help accessibility to college education especially those coming
from the low-income group.
MITCI started as a Technical School,
a great alternative post-high school education which allows students to learn a
career or trade in various technical fields. In the quest to provide quality,
relevant and responsive educational services to the youth of SOCSKSARGEN, MITCI
hired an Administrative Consultant, Mr. Agapito D. Lubaton, and the
construction/renovations of school building was immediately started and was
ready for occupancy by April 2008. Also, instructional facilities like Science
Laboratories and Library resources were upgraded, including furnitures and
fixtures.
On March 2008, application for TVET
Programs was filed with Technical Education Skills and Development Authority
(TESDA) for Competency-Based courses on Hotel and
Restaurant
Management, Food and Beverages Services, Building Wiring Installation,
Mechanical Technology, Information Technology, Consumer Electronics, and
Driving. On June 24, 2008, COPR’s for these courses were issued by TESDA.
On June, 2008, MITCI started its
operations with 503 students and on October 2008, 29 students graduated in
Mechanical Technology, Hotel and Restaurant Management, Information Technology
and Driving-Mechanic. The school amended its Articles of Incorporation for a
change of name from Marvelous Institute of Technical College, Inc. (MITCI) to
what is now MARVELOUS COLLEGE OF TECHNOLOGY, INC. (MCTI) and was issued SEC
approval on November 13, 2008. On the second semester of its operations, the
enrolment was 475 students and 135 students graduated on its 1st Commencement
Exercises on March, 2009, a good number for a very “young” school, only on its
first year of operation, despite a major setback on the management side. The
unflagging loyalty and the continuous support of the personnel, benefactors and
friends responded wholeheartedly to augment the school’s limited resources.
During its first year of operation, SY
2008-2009, MCTI signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the Department of
Labor and Employment (DOLE), Region XII, identifying MCTI as Public Employment
Satellite Office (PESO) of the Province of South Cotabato, with Mr. Agapito D.
Lubaton as Employment Consultant for MCTI. Through this MOA, MCTI was able to
deploy employment of its graduates in Canada (HRM), Riyadh (Mechanical
Technology) and Hanjin Offshore Shipyard in Subic, Zambales (Mechanical
Technology). These linkages with industries here and abroad made a considerable
impact to MCTI even on its first year of operation only.
Thus, in SY 2009-2010, MCTI upgraded
its human and physical resources to meet the demands of the growing student
population. On its second year, MCTI was accredited by TESDA, South Cotabato as
Assessment Center in the following trade areas: Building Wiring Installation NC
II, Consumer Electronics Servicing NC II, Computer Hardware Servicing NC II, PC
Operation NC II, Automotive Servicing NC II, Driving NC II and Food and Beverage
Services NC II.
Fully aware that SOCSKSARGEN is a
rapidly growing region, in June 2009, MTCI gradually increased the number of
TVET programs being offered and applied for CHED 4-year programs: BS
Information Technology (BSIT), BS Business Administration (BSBA) major in
Marketing Management, and Bachelor in Technical Teacher Education (BTTE) major
in Automotive Technology, Electrical Technology, and Electronic Technology, in
order to provide responsive and responsible professionals and leaders for the
transformation of society. In May, 2010, CHED granted permits for BSIT, BSBA
major in Marketing Management and BTTE.
In line with the school’s desire to
upgrade the delivery of instruction, curricular offerings had been refined,
duties and responsibilities of administrators/key officials had been reviewed,
administrative/faculty manuals and student handbook had been drafted, an AVR
and other Laboratory facilities had been completed and other instructional
facilities had been updated. Also, MTCI established linkages and networking
with government and private agencies, to make available scholarship grants for
MCTI deserving students like Kabuguason Scholarship (Provincial Government of
South Cotabato), PESFA Scholarship (TESDA – South Cotabato), PGS Scholarship
(Pangulong Gloria Scholarship through TESDA), Special Program of Employment of
Students (SPES) Scholarship (DOLE – South Cotabato) and ISKO Scholarship
Program (City of Koronadal).
MCTI continues to make its presence
felt in the community and the country as it produces professionals and
technically skilled practitioners here and abroad. As a fast growing Technical
College, MCTI will continue to serve the youth of South Cotabato and exert all
efforts to generate employment to usher great changes in the life of the South
Cotabateños with the MOTTO: “MARVELOUS ON THE GO, SA TRABAHO SIGURADO.”
