Conducted last December 2016 up to March 17, 2017, subjects were distributed in various OJT centers namely; Kalibo, Bacolod City, Cebu City, Roxas City, Iloilo City and Barotac Nuevo, Iloilo. Although the results showed that the Bachelor of Industrial Technology graduating students OJT performance were “very satisfactory” in the different domains; cognitive domain (4.09), psychomotor domain (4.05) and affective domain (4.14), significant differences in the OJT performance were noted when grouped according to age and area of specialization. Older group got high performance over younger group, while Although the OJT performance of Industrial Technology students is highly acceptable, stronger linkages between the college and industries must be strengthened, upgrading of school facilities such as shops and laboratories based on the standards of the industry, retooling of the industrial technology instructors such as immersion locally and abroad were given emphasize and lastly, admission policies need to be revisited as well in order to strengthen curricular programs of BIT. These factors will be considered in the reforms of the Bachelor of Industrial Technology curriculum in order to keep abreast with the demands of the growing industries.
