Cavite State University (CvSU) – Carmona Campus, through the Department of Industrial and Information Technology (DIIT) and its continuing capacity-building initiatives, successfully conducted the second session of TechLINK: Connecting and Communicating in the Digital Age on August 20, 2025. This session focused on strengthening participants’ skills in professional digital communication through effective email use, with the goal of equipping attendees with the knowledge and techniques needed to manage their accounts responsibly and securely in academic, personal, and professional settings.

Serving as moderators, Mr. Antonino Jose L. Bayson and Ms. Jackelyn R. Murallon, faculty extensionists, ensured the smooth facilitation of the session. The program formally opened with welcome remarks from Mr. Alonel A. Hugo, department extension coordinator - alternate, who highlighted the importance of email proficiency as a core digital skill in today’s fast-paced, technology-driven environment.

The training proper, which included the pre-test, discussions, and post-test, was facilitated by Dr. Regene G. Hernandez and Mr. Francis C. Callos, faculty extensionists. They delivered comprehensive lessons on creating and setting up an email account, sending, receiving, and managing messages, and handling attachments with ease, while also addressing how to safeguard inboxes through spam filter management.
