1.1 that the national leadership especially Department of

Education office shall enrich the K to 12 Program which

provides education and employment to the graduates. They

may be able to land a job after graduation;

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

1.2 for the Division Office to plan and implement additional relevant

trainings to school teachers who are newly-hired to equip them

and to enhance their skills and competences; and

1.3 for the School Administrator to link with other industries for

students’ immersion; plan intervention to address job mismatch.

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

2) Further research should be undertaken in other technical-

vocational schools to cross-validate the results of this

study and to expand its coverage.
