Power Mac Center has established a branch inside the De La Salle University campus in Manila.
The move was an innovative effort that gives the DLSU community a more convenient access to Apple technology and promotes a technology-empowered education system.
Power Mac Center’s collaboration also extends to the De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde (DLS-CSB) as its campus will serve as training venue for course offerings for persons with disabilities.
The Power Mac Center and DLS-CSB SPaCE team-up will also offer Apple certification and non-certification programs for students, alumni and employees of DLS-CSB and the public.
