The Cloud Campus microsite in Ilocos Norte is located at the 3^rd floor of the Viven Hotel in San Nicolas, Ilocos Norte. This site will open more jobs for residents of the Ilocos region and hopes to contribute to the capability building and economic growth of the province.

“We are again unfolding another milestone today through the launching of the Teleperformance Cloud Campus microsite in our beloved municipality, which would provide again employment opportunities not only for our people here in San Nicolas but also to the whole of Ilocos Norte and to the nearby provinces. This will definitely boost the municipality’s economy thereby eventually improving the lives of every San Nicoleño,” shared San Nicolas Municipal Vice Mayor Edistio P.
