“The JCA Technology Complex was conceived out of the need to respond to today’s competitive labor landscape. We need an institution that will train our students in the latest technologies to become top-level technicians, helping them to be part of a competent labor force both here and abroad. This facility hopes to realize that,” said ACC Chairman Jose Ch. Alvarez.
The new facility will be offering extensive skills development programs, as well as the most advanced technical courses and modules aimed at developing technical skills of deserving Filipino students. Their goal is to train them to become the best technicians in the field of Industrial and Commercial Technologies.
Built on a 2.3 hectare lot inside the Xavier University, the P72.3-million modern technological education facility that ACC invested on features training classrooms, laboratories and workshops, a canteen, a library, an auditorium, as well as administration offices, and other utilities and services.

The JCA Technology Complex will also be leveraging on BMW's own advanced technologies and innovations so students are guaranteed to have a first-hand training experience from the industry’s best. And in its latest course offering, Automotive Technology, students will have the option to undergo training at different BMW dealerships, and eventually have the opportunity to be absorbed in the company.
ACC, through the support of its regional office, BMW Asia, will also be donating advanced training modules that will be incorporated in the curriculum of the school.
At present, around 600 students are enrolled in XU-CIT, but the population is expected to grow even further with the newly constructed JCA Technology Complex.
“I personally believe in the value of having a good education and recognize the talent of the Filipino youth and their need for progressive educational institutions. The new JCA Technology Complex hopes to not only cater to the technical skills requirement of Cagayan de Oro and the whole of Northern Mindanao; it also hopes to produce technical specialists who exhibit strong technical skills and leadership qualities, all founded on a strong sense of concern to the community,” Alvarez added.
