One of the mandates of SUCs is to extend assistance to its communities. This is achieved by conducting training programs & skills training when requested by LGUs. This study was conducted to evaluate the skills training provided by SUCs in the province of Tarlac to their respective communities to help the government in its attempt to alleviate poverty. This study used the input-output model in evaluating the skills trainings rendered by the SUCs in Tarlac Province from 2009 to 2011. The inputs to the programs were the skills trainings, the materials used for trainings, & the personnel involved, while the output evaluation looked into the benefits derived from the training. All school administrators and training personnel of the SUCs were included in the study along with 140 out of 602 training recipients who were randomly sampled. Results show that skills trainings were requested by the marginalized sectors of the province of Tarlac thru their Local Government Units. Among the in-demand training courses requested by the community recipients were Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), Basic Culinary Arts, Small Engine Repair, Building wiring food processing and computer Literacy. The trainees were provided adequate tools and equipment while the trainers were highly qualified workforce certified by TESDA. Training recipients were personally and psychologically uplifted with self-fulfillment and improved self-esteem. There was a significant increase on the number of recipients who acquired jobs after they attended the trainings. The Wilcoxon signed ranks test between the difference on number of jobs before and after the trainings was significant at 0.27.

The results of this study indicate that the conditions of education, health, and poverty alleviation before and after special autonomy did not change significantly.

This is caused by the institutional system of government that has not worked effectively and efficiently as well as in the quality and quantity of existing human resources.

Definition Of

Abstract The existence of a poor community, landless farmers and tenure conflict triggers the government to launch a social forestry (SF) and an agrarian reform (Land Object Agrararian Reform-TORA) program. Both programs should be evaluated periodically. The objectives of the research are to (i) explain the definition of SF and TORA and their target achievement, (ii) accelerate the target achievement of SF and TORA, (iii) analyze the community prosperity before and after SF and TORA implementation, and (iv) formulate a recommendation for the effectiveness of SF and TORA future implementation. The exploration of regulation substances uses content analysis and the explanation of the whole discussion uses the descriptive qualitative method. The research result reveals that the SF program has given management rights at the state forest. Meanwhile, the TORA program has distributed property (land) rights from the state land. Both programs have the same objectives that improve and increase the prosperity of their recipient target; however, both definitions are the difference between the old and the new definition. The good acceleration of both programs is the revision of their recipient target. The prosperity of the community should be enhanced by giving them access to capital, technology, relevant training, and the market. The effectiveness of the SF and TORA program can be acheived by implementing simple and appropriate actions for their six pilars (economical, social, ecological, professional, technical, and cultural) of target achievement.
