these skills are integrated into the curriculum of educational institutions to ensure that students’ upon
graduation acquire such skills so as to fit into the 21st century workforce
This paper introduces the competency models for Operations Manager, User Interface
Designer, and Application Developers. It will serve as a guide for Information Systems students
to identify which among the three of the offered tracks would be most suited for them to pursue
according to their knowledge, skills, values and interests. The Holland’s RIASEC model and the
Values Search model of Bronwyn and Holt were utilized to determine the most dominant interest
and most dominant values of the industry computing experts. Survey assessment forms were sent
to IT Operations Manager, User Interface Designer, and Application Developer. Most dominant
values and interests of industry computing experts were determined as well as the knowledge
and skills which are mostly required by the industry in their particular area. Based on the result
of the survey, it shows that application developer and user interface designer have a closely
related values. Thus a second round of a survey would be needed to come up with the most
exclusive dominant values for the particular information systems specialization track.

ARE THE SERVICES DELIVERED EMPLOYABLE? A SCENARIO OF TECHNICAL EDUCATION IN R...Prashant Mahajan
One of the most appalling challenges in India is persistently rising unemployment, explicitly in
the rural region. More than 20% of Indian youth between the ages of 15 and 24 years are “seeking
or available for work,” as per 2011 census data. There will be no peace and prosperity in the
country unless jobless people get appropriate channel. In India deficiency of skills is among the
main constraints for recruitment of Technical Education. Productivity of Technical Education in
not entirely absorbed due to lack of skills required by the employers. Along with the ample
arguments, taking place in recent times, regarding reformation in the productivity of Technical
Education, this present study syndicates focus on services delivered and its impact on employability
skills. The objective of this paper is to find out whether Technical Education institutes in rural part
are keen to focus on the employability skills? The paper also focuses on distinguished skills
required by the employer for recruitment. The study also emphases on the services offered by the
Institutes and their correlation on skills development.
DATA MINING FOR STUDENTS’ EMPLOYABILITY PREDICTIONCSEIJJournal
This study has been undertaken to predict the student employability.Assessing student employability
provides a method of integrating student abilities and employer business requirements, which is becoming
an increasingly important concern for academic institutions. Improving student evaluation techniques for
employability can help students to have a better understanding of business organizations and find the right
one for them. The data for the training classification models is gathered through a survey in which students
are asked to fill out a questionnaire in which they may indicate their abilities and academic achievement.
This information may be used to determine their competency in a variety of skill categories, including soft
skills, problem-solving skills and technical abilities and so on.The goal of this research is to use data
mining to predict student employability by considering different factors such as skills that the students have
gained during their diploma level and time duration with respect to the knowledge they have captured
when they expect the placement at the end of graduation. Further during this research most specific skills
with relevant to each job category also was identified. In this research for the prediction of the student
employability different data mining models such as such as KNN, Naive Bayer’s, and Decision Tree were
evaluated and out of that best model also was identified for this institute's student’s employability
prediction.So, in this research classification and association techniques were used and evaluated.

This research is a package that was carried out in a period of 3 years to develop a learning model based on the framework of Indonesia's national qualifications in an effort to improve students' vocational high school soft skills. The first year conducted two years ago, a draft learning model was found, namely the OSGIPE model. In the second year, a formative evaluation was carried out on the OSGIPE model through one on one, small group, and limited field trials. There was a significant increase in students' soft skills amounting to 23.05%. In the third year which is this year, a summative evaluation through wide field trials it have been carried out and still show that there is a significant increase in students' soft skills amounting to 23.44 %. It means that the OSGIPE model was feasible and effectively used to improve the soft skills of vocational high school technology students. So, the OSGIPE model can be used as an operational product concistently.
Relevance of Higher Education. How to measure it? The case of masters of engi...AM Publications
Existing evaluation models for higher education have, mainly, accreditation purposes, and evaluate the
efficiency of training programs, that is to say, the degree of suitability between the educational results and the
objectives of the program. However, it is not guaranteed that those objectives adequate to the needs and real interests
of students and stakeholders, that is to say, they do not assess the relevance of the programs, a very important aspect
in developing countries. From the review of experiences, this paper proposes a model for evaluating the relevance of
engineering masters program, and applies it to the case of a master’s degree at the University of Piura, Peru. We
conclude that the proposed model is applicable to other masters program, offers an objective way for determining is a
training program keep being relevant, and identifies improvement opportunities
THE USE OF COMPUTER-BASED LEARNING ASSESSMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL COURSES: A STR...IAEME Publication
Background/Objectives: While the increase in classroom technology, it is necessary to examine how assessment is administered through technology. The purpose of this study is to understand how students and faculty are perceived and examine the effectiveness of the computer-based assessment in professional education courses (Educational Technology) at Northern Iloilo Polytechnic State College, Iloilo, Philippines. Methods: The research design utilized in this study is mixed-method research. A computer-based assessment was utilized to assess students' performance in educational technology. This instrument was validated, and pilot tested to establish reliability. Each campus of NIPSC selected ten students of 70 as respondents during Academic Year 2016-2017. Frequency count, mean, standard deviation, and Wilcoxon signed-rank test were statistical tools used for data analyses. Findings: The study's finding showed a high score of students in the posttest ensured better performance of the students in educational technology. The increase in the posttest per performance level of the students was due to an accurate measure of what they have learned in educational technology. The majority of students users agreed that online assessment was fasters than the paper and pencil form. Also, users agreed that online assessment is contemporary and more systematic. They also stated that online assessment is consistent with the teaching style, but they are less anxious. Furthermore, according to faculty and students, ninety percent (90%) believed that computer-based assessment accurately measures what they are teaching and what they learned in school, respectively. Novelty: With the current situation that the education system is in new normal, computer-based learning is important in flexible learning. And assessment using technology is a great help to both faculty and students. Thus, state universities and colleges (SUCs) should adopt this innovation to help teaching and learning.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

Abstract— This study determined the feedback of trainers/supervisors regarding the respondents’ personal,
interpersonal and technical understanding skills in their on-the-job training (OJT) program using descriptive
research design. The respondents of the study were 156 BSIT students enrolled in the OJT Program during the
2nd Semester of A.Y. 2018–2019 at Nueva Ecija University of Science Technology, San Isidro Campus.
The findings of the study have shown that the students were excellent in numerous personal skills. Likewise, they
were very good in most of their technical understanding skills which are hard skills in the field of Information
Technology. Still, there were areas in which students’ performance need enhancement. Due to this, the
researchers proposed a plan of action as an intervention to improve the program that would later result in the
improvement of the students’ performance in their OJT.
Keywords— Feedback, information technology, interpersonal skills, on-the-job training, personal skills,
technical understanding skills.
I. INTRODUCTION
One of the voluminous challenges every academic institution
has to face is how their graduates would fit in the industry
standards when it comes to information, skills and
competencies. It is necessary that the students were able to
acquire the knowledge, skills, and competencies needed to
address the complex social, economic and even political
issues they have to face in the real battleground (Kazis,
Vargas and Hoffman, 2004).In this era, where technology
plays a vital role(Navarro, 2019), technology-based
education particularly courses in Computer Science and
Information Technology has become one of the most in-
demand courses nowadays (Miro, 2019). The Nueva Ecija
University of Science and Technology which is composed of
several campuses offering IT courses is sensible enough to
have their students prepared after graduation in combating
the real corporate world so that these students would be able
to get a job suited in their field. The challenge has now been
assumed by the academe through its On–the–Job Training
and Career Development Center (Verecio, 2014).
As part of the curriculum, students will undergo On–the–Job
Training (OJT) in which they were deployed to different
partner agencies in the field of IT that would provide them
practical experiences (Mina and Aydinan, 2019). According
to Dulnuan and Saulog (n.d.), internship or practicum is a
program that provides student–learners the opportunity to
enhance their formal education that isfull of concepts and
theories with applied knowledge, skills and desired attitudes
that would eventually lead them in gaining practical
experience in recognized industries. This training is a
pervasive method for augmenting student–learner’s
productivity and cultivating their job performance (Gupta
and Bostrom 2006). It connects the gap between theory and

practice as well as between classroom education and real
industry life (Laguador, 2013).
It is also an enhancement of technical knowledge, skills and
attitudes of students towards work necessary for satisfactory
job performance. These programs exposed the students to
work on realities that would ideally hone their skills and
prepare them once they get out of the university or college
(Department of Labor and Employment, 2015). It means that
the OJT is a two–way process wherein both parties, the
companies and the students are benefited from the program.
In the study conducted by the People Management
Association of the Philippines (PMAP) in 2006 which is
cited by the Department of Labor and Employment (2015), it
has emphasized the importance of an effective On–the–Job
Training program to ensure appropriately skilled graduates as
it ensures the possibility of good performer graduates. Thus,
every academic institution together with national government
agencies and private institutions should work together for
skill-specific tasks and mentoring of the students to achieve
such objectives.
Since the Nueva Ecija University of Science and Technology
(NEUST) San Isidro Campusoffers Bachelor of Science in
Information Technology (BSIT) as part of its undergraduate
programs, aimed to produce graduates that they believe are
contributing to the growing workforce of IT professionals,
there is a need foran assessment as to how responsive
theirgraduates have been performing during their training.
This scenario triggered the researchers to conduct this study.
It aimed to determine the level of OJT performance to
variously identified competencies specifically in terms of
their personal, interpersonal and technical understanding
skills. Furthermore, as part of the ongoing efforts in the
fulfillment of the University's commitment to its
stakeholders, it is important that this campus is aware of the
feedback of the student–learners' trainers/supervisors to their
performance during their training since the quality of
internship learning heavily depends on the quality of
feedback and supervision by both the company and the
university (Narayanan, Olk and Fukami, 2010). At the same
time, this can also serve as a foundation to further improve
the program currently being implemented.
II. METHODOLOGY
The research design utilized in this study was descriptive.
Descriptive research aims to accurately and systematically
describe a population, situation or phenomenon (McCombes,
2019).
The respondents of this study who were chosen purposively
(Subia, 2018) were limited to the respective
trainers/supervisors from the different partner agencies of all
student–learners enrolled in the OJT Program of the BSIT
program during the 2ns Semester of A.Y. 2018–2019 at
Nueva Ecija University of Science Technology San Isidro
Campus. A total of one hundred fifty-six respondents (156)
participated in the survey.
The researchers used a survey–questionnaire based on CHED
CMO–No. 53 s. 2006. Included in the memorandum order
are expected competencies to be acquired by the graduates
from BSCS, BSIT and BSIS programs. The questionnaire is
divided into three parts. The first part is composed of the
personal skills of the trainee, the second part is the
interpersonal skills of the trainee and the last part is focused
on the technical understanding skills of the trainee.
The collection of data was done through in-person
distribution and the respondents were given enough time to
think about their answers to the questions. Responses from
the questionnaire were tabulated, analyzed and computed
using frequency count, percentage and weighted mean.
Each response to every item was evaluated based on the
following scale and verbal interpretation:
Scale of Values Limits of Scale Verbal
Interpretation
5.00 4.21 – 5.00 Excellent
4.00 3.41 – 4.20 Very Good

III. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
This section provides the presentation of the results of the
study. Corresponding analysis and interpretation regarding
some presented data were discussed.

The data above displayed the feedback of the
trainers/supervisors on the personal skills of the student–
learners who have undergone their training in their
companies. The students were excellent in the following:
perseverance in pursuing goals and continuous
improvement(WM= 4.43); innovative skills (WM=4.29);
planning and organizing skills (WM=4.27) and problem-
solving skills (WM=4.22). It seems that the respondents were
ready in the real world of work because of their higher level
of personal skills particularly, problem-solving skills.
Problem-solving is the most important aspect of learning
which means that the respondents were capable of solving a
wide variety of complex and meaningful problems as they
grow older (Salangsang & Subia, 2020; Subia, 2020).The
inclination of the trainers/supervisors as they see their
trainees wanting to pursue long–term goals with
perseverance and passion may be determined in part by their
beliefs about one’s capabilities and the relative influence of
external causes (Duckworth, Peterson, Matthews and Kelly,
2007). This indicator is somehow impressive on the part of
the company as they see that their trainees are goal-oriented
and are seeking professional development.
The trainers/supervisors, on the other hand, found the
students very good in terms of their entrepreneurial thinking
skillswith a weighted mean of 4.08. Since the students are
taking an IT course, they did not excel in this kind of soft
skills. In this case, the educational system has to train young
people who want to learn entrepreneurial skills and this can
be integrated with the curriculum because ICT business
needs new entrepreneurs and innovative business cultures
(Juvonen and Ovaska, 2012). Interpersonal relations and
even teamwork are interactive skills that are an aggregation
of these aforementioned personal skills which by all means
can be developed in customary programs the university has
prepared for the students but a more substantial amount of
the skills can only be established and acquired in the real
environment of the workplace (Sabag, Trotskovsky and
Schechner, 2006). According to Carter (1998), the internship
is viewed as a vehicle that supports the adaptation of
academic preparedness to skills required by the work market.

learners who have undergone their OJT in their companies. It
can be renowned from the data above that the students have
been rated excellent by their trainers/supervisors in terms of
oral and written communication skills with a weighted mean
of 4.21. Communication skills, both in oral and written, are
substantial for a student’s academic success and future career
prospects (Lucanus, 2017).On the other hand, the students
were rated very good in terms of their teamwork
collaborative skills with a weighted mean of 4.09. Students
have been observed lacking the necessary teamwork
collaborative skills (Carnegie Mellon University, 2019)
that’s why group projects are not working well even during

their academics because students tend to weigh and compare
their contribution to their group mates’. In the same article, it
has been mentioned that real-world stories about what can go
erroneous when these skills are weak can further emphasize
the message that these skills are dominant to professional
success. According to Phillpott (2019), on a scale of 1 to 5,
managers rated the importance of having good interpersonal
skills at 4.37, just below the “ability to work in teams”
(which obviously comes in at 4.49). Therefore, interpersonal
skills are crucial and must be given full attention by the
academicians.

The data above revealed the feedback of the
trainers/supervisors on the technical understanding skills of
the student–learners who have undergone their training in
their companies. It can be remarked from the data above that
the students have been rated excellent by their
trainers/supervisors in terms of system analysis and design
and software integration, testing and documentation with a
weighted mean of 4.21. On the other side of the coin, the
student–learners were rated very good in terms of their
knowledge in the principles of accounting with a weighted
mean of 3.97.Information Technology (IT) may be the most
stimulating program in terms of skill gaps for the reason that
there is the fast speed of change in terms of hardware and
software development (Patacsil and Tablatin, 2017). Yet, if
the trainees have these technical understanding skills, these
are entry-level skills that if they possess can provide them
long–term careers (Pritchard, 2013).

The table above presents the proposed plan of action that the researchers believe can improve the OJT program of the BSIT
courses in NEUST San Isidro Campus.
IV. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
Based on the findings of the study, the current program of
the On–the–Job Training and Career Development Center of
NEUST as stipulated in its manual is operative. Although,
there were areas needing improvement in terms of the three
skills analyzed above. In relation to these foregoing results,
the researchers formulated a proposed plan of action to
strengthen and further improve the OJT program. The
researchers based this proposal on some of the inadequacies
found in the performance of the student–learners based on
the feedback of the trainers/supervisors of the different
partner agencies of the university. It is suggested by the
researchers that IT educators should check and observe the
trends in the world of IT to update their modules and
learning materials so as to further enhance their teaching
approach which would result in the enrichment of the
technical understanding skills of the students. In order to
sustain the delivery of quality education, the mentors in the
IT Department must set a retention policy in their program
and give directions to those students who could not really
adapt the curriculum set by the university which is a major
solution to avoid mismatch of skills. Also, the OJT
Coordinators must ensure that the students were deployed to
companies that are engaged in the field of IT in order for the
students to gain additional learning in the real corporate
world. Lastly, the university should strengthen the OJT
Office wherein its function is intensive monitoring of all the
interns across programs and identify qualified coordinators.
