Phase 2 Phase 2 goes in depth with a few selected trainees. We only went through the individuals whom we deemed have higher potential to obtain a job outside, based on our observation of their work ability in PERKOBP and activity performances. Our initial selection was everyone in the Type 1 and a few from the Type II category. Then we conducted: (1) an interview with the trainees, (2) an interview with their respective parents and some PERKOBP supervisors and lastly, (3) short role play sessions for those trainees. The purpose of the interview with the trainees was not only for us to gauge if they can work elsewhere, but also to assess their self-evaluation of their own capabilities. Thus, we also had them complete a self-evaluation form which assesses employability and life skills. However, only few are aware of their own skills and abilities, making it hard for them to self-evaluate. Hence, we also asked some of their parents to complete the form to gain more insight about ...
An excellent preliminary study to capture the needs of PERKOBP residents work readiness skills among others. The results obtained served as important information to develop the modules. You have learnt the basic requirements of a health promotion project. Your findings will serve useful if the administrators of PERKOBP wish to apply for a grant to carry your suggested projects.
ReplyDeleteSorry for the late reply! And thank you :D We do hope that our work will be of use to PERKOBP and also to the wider community.
DeleteThis is an excellent and well-researched plan. Do you have anyone with the expertise to provide the training in these methods to PERKOBP? And what are the resources involved like?
ReplyDeleteSorry for late reply! And thank you :D As of now, we do not have anyone specific in mind to provide the necessary training, but we do hope that volunteers with expertise (e.g. from other NGOs or universities) in the relevant areas could help provide the training or even conduct some of the activities in the module. Depending on the activity, the resources involved are mostly trained individuals to conduct the activities and some materials needed for the specific activity.
