OAKLAND PARK, FL — Compu-Med Vocational Careers (CMVC) proudly celebrated the official Ribbon Cutting Ceremony of its Fort Lauderdale Campus, located at:

3075 W. Oakland Park Boulevard
Oakland Park, FL 33311

While the campus has already been serving students and actively enrolling for several months, this special event marked an important milestone as community leaders, educational partners, healthcare professionals, students, and supporters gathered to celebrate the campus’s official introduction to the Oakland Park community.

A Mission to Transform the Community Through Education

The CMVC Fort Lauderdale Campus represents much more than a new educational facility. It reflects a continued commitment to creating opportunities, empowering individuals, and helping transform communities through career-focused healthcare education.

As the demand for qualified healthcare professionals continues to grow throughout South Florida, CMVC remains dedicated to providing accessible education and workforce training that helps students build meaningful careers while strengthening the communities they serve.

The Fort Lauderdale Campus brings a fresh energy to Oakland Park, offering modern facilities, supportive staff, and career-focused programs designed to help students achieve their goals and make a positive impact in healthcare.

Honoring Our Founder: Mayra Rodriguez

This campus holds special significance as it is dedicated to Mayra Rodriguez, the founder of Compu-Med Vocational Careers, in recognition of her vision, perseverance, and lifelong dedication to student success.

As a Cuban immigrant who came to the United States seeking opportunity, Mayra Rodriguez built CMVC with a simple but powerful mission: to create pathways for others to achieve a better future through education. Through hard work, determination, and an unwavering commitment to her students, she established a school that has transformed thousands of lives over the last three and a half decades.

For more than 35 years, CMVC has remained focused on putting students first, empowering individuals to pursue rewarding careers, and helping families achieve economic mobility through education.

What began as one woman’s dream has grown into a lasting legacy that continues to expand across multiple communities. Today, CMVC proudly carries forward Mayra’s vision by opening new campuses, creating new opportunities, and continuing to invest in the success of every student who walks through its doors.

The Fort Lauderdale Campus stands as a tribute to her remarkable journey and a reflection of the values that have guided CMVC since its founding: opportunity, perseverance, service, and student success.
