Abstract

Employability is one of the strongest driving forces of an individual to strive for personal development and skills improvement continually. Among the job seekers of the municipality of Tuburan, on the island of Cebu, Philippines, 20 aspiring individuals were purposively chosen to undergo a training series using contextualized learning modules designed to respond to the required skills by identified prospective employers directly. Sets of pre-and post-tests were given before and after the conduct of the sessions to measure the effects of the designed modules on the job application skills of the respondents. After the training sessions, the respondents were asked to apply for jobs while being monitored by the team. The results demonstrated that using contextualized learning modules significantly enhanced respondents' abilities in terms of resume writing, interview preparation, and technical skills like using Microsoft Office and Google productivity tools, basic computer operations, and using the internet and managing emails. The researchers advise using the learning modules and maximizing their adaptability to the starting points of job seekers' knowledge.
