If a person is not competent enough to do a job, efficiency cannot be attained. Assessing the competency of a graduate is a crucial thing because this determines if a graduate is capable of working in the actual industry. The main focus of this study is to develop and validate a Civil Engineering Technology Competency Evaluation and to establish its reliability. The developed instrument was an evaluation with five-point scale in which "5" serve as strongly agree scale and "1" for strongly disagree scale, it can determine the core competency which is important in the industry. There were sixty-three respondents composed of Civil Engineering Technology alumni and students who are done with their Supervised Industrial Training. Reliability Analysis of SPSS version 20 was utilized to determine the reliability of the instrument. Results show that the researchers were able to develop a Civil Engineering Technology Competency Evaluation which can assess the competencies important in the industry. The evaluation got 0.851 Spearman-Brown Coefficient, 0.848 Guttman Split-half Coefficient and 0.960 Cronbach's Alpha which was interpreted as highlyreliable. Recommendations for school administrators, teachers and other school personnel and future researchers were given.

It is no longer just a tool to many, technology allows its users to learn, create and collaborate with each other. This study aimed to conduct a technology needs assessment in a local Junior High School employing a survey method using the School Technology Needs Assessment (STNA) developed by SERVE in collaboration with the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction's Educational Technology Division, as part of the LANCET project (Looking at North Carolina Educational Technology. Thirty (30) participants were asked to answer the questionnaire to know the current situation and what else is expected in terms of technology planning. This study revealed that teachers see technology as an important tool in achieving student outcomes, professional development and uplifting educational standards. However, there are still important things that need to be decided on terms of facilities, infrastructure and technical support. The result of this study indicated that teachers have sufficient knowledge to manipulate and use technology for the benefit of their work and students but the availability of fund, support and facilities made this aim difficult for them. Recommendations were made to school administrators and decision makers with regards to the implementation of a school-wide technology plan.

This study aimed to describe the socio-demographic profile of TVL (Technicalvocational and livelihood) Senior High School students in a private school in the Philippines-their competency level, work immersion performance, and expectations of employers in terms of the competencies set by regulators. A descriptive correlational method of research was used to get the responses of 18 employers and 84 TVL students. Results suggest that there is no significant difference between the students' competency level and their employers' expected competencies in terms of collaboration, critical thinking, entrepreneurship, environmental literacy, information technology, learning and innovation, lifelong learning, and occupational health. In contrast, a significant difference exists between the two groups in terms of communication and occupational health. No significant difference was found in their work immersion performance when grouped according to sex and socioeconomic classification, but a significant difference was found when grouped according to strand and specialization. The result of this study provides valuable insights for educational institutions, policymakers, and business owners in the Philippines on bridging the gap between the vocational training offered in schools and the needed competencies in the industry.
