The primary objective of this study was to determine and compare the extent of vocational training, satisfaction in employment/careers, and socio-economic improvement of the project-assisted institute graduates and non-assisted institute graduates. The second objective was to determine and compare educational development of the project-assisted and non-assisted institutes as perceived by teachers, administrators, and current students. A final objective was to identify employers’ skill requirements for today’s work, their use of current technology, and their planning for perceived future trends.
