Abstract:

This study aimed to determine the impact of the livelihood skills training conducted by the Department of Foods, Science, and Technology (DFST), of this University. This study employed a mixed-method concurrent validating quantitative data triangulation design. Two-stage voluntary sampling was used to determine the respondents, and twenty-three trainees volunteered to participate in the study. The researchers used the researchersmade survey questionnaire which includes closed and open-ended questions. The open-ended questions were a followup to closed-ended type of questions to validate/expand on the respondents' answers to the closed-ended questions. The data collected from the closed-ended questions were analyzed using the frequency and percentage while the qualitative data obtained from the open-ended questions were analyzed using a directed content analysis approach. Results revealed that more than 39 % of the respondents were engaged in business/work related to food before the training. They rated the training as useful because they experienced changes in their income. They believed that it is due to the training conducted by the DFST. The changes they experience after the training include augmented income and reduced expenses. The researchers recommend that the training designers, may consider the age of the participants in designing training and it must be participants'-centered.
