Isabela State University (ISU), through its College of Engineering and with the support of ISU H.E.L.P.S., hosted the P.A.C.E. UP+: Power and Cool 5-in-1 Workshop on September 11–12, 2026, at ISU–Cabagan Campus, Cabagan, Isabela. The event served as a public educational and skills-development activity, providing individuals beyond the University’s enrolled student population with opportunities to participate in lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on learning sessions.

The workshop was open to engineering students, out-of-school youth, community members, business owners, entrepreneurs, technicians, professionals, and other interested individuals. It covered five areas: heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC); solar energy; CCTV security systems; Electrical Installation and Maintenance (EIM); and business strategies. Through expert-led discussions and practical activities, participants gained opportunities to acquire technical knowledge, develop practical skills, and enhance their competencies in these fields.

By hosting an educational event that welcomes the general public, ISU extends its learning environment beyond formal academic instruction and provides accessible opportunities for continuing education and skills development. This initiative demonstrates the University’s commitment to organizing public lectures, community educational activities, and practical training that promote lifelong learning and help participants strengthen their employment, career, and livelihood prospects.
