The Carlos Hilado Memorial State College-Binalbagan Campus encouraged its faculty to attend seminars and training to improve their capabilities and enhance their skills in their field of expertise. One of the training that most faculty in different departments of the Binalbagan Campus attended was the UPOU (University of the Philippines Open University) training entitled Gearing up for the Next Normal: Training of Teachers on Flexible Learning. The training was composed of ten modules such as Module 1: Flexible Learning: An Overview, Module 2: Designing your Course the Backward Design Process, Module 3: Module Writing & Course Materials Development, Module 4: Developing the Teacher Trainer Curriculum, Module 5: Assessment in Flexible Learning Mode, Module 6: Course Delivery, Module 7:  , Module 8: Quality Assurance in a Flexible Learning Mode, Module 9: eLeadership & eClassroom Management, and Module 10: Emerging Trends in Education.

This UPOU Training was imparted to the Faculty of Carlos Hilado Memorial State College-Binalbagan Campus. It was part of the Re-entry project of the selected participants that attended the training.

Academic institutions are responsible for developing graduates' competence that matches the needs of the industry and is responsive to present and future challenges. A critical component of competence is the skills that must be provided in and out of the schools. On this note, on-the-job training becomes necessary to complement classroom instruction.

The on-the-job training (OJT) program is required under the CMO 25 Series of 2015. Revised Policies, Standards, and Guidelines for BS in Computer Science, BS in Information Systems, and BS in Information Technology. This provides students the chance and opportunity to apply the skills, knowledge and attitudes learned in college and, at the same time, to experience the corporate environment.

These training programs expose the students to work realities that will ideally hone their skills and prepare them once they get out of the university or college. A study conducted by the People Management Association of the Philippines (PMAP) in 2006 emphasized the importance of an effective on-the-job training program. Achievement of the OJT program objectives ensures the possibility of good-performing graduates. The opposite will most likely produce poor performer graduates, thus, promoting job-skill mismatch. Hence, on-the-job training programs, vital as it is, should be dynamic and skill-centered for the students to effectively grasp practical learning in the workplace.

The Program Chairperson should assess the faculty's performance each semester. During the classroom observation, the instructor should provide all the relevant data.

The teacher will demonstrate their subject matter during the classroom observation. The faculty will then be evaluated by the program chairperson using the standards specified by the university.

If anything needs to be improved, the program chairperson will discuss it with the faculty after the classroom observation.

Classroom Observation Evaluation Forms are used in rating the faculty in their performance according to Lesson, Content, Teaching Methods, Classroom Management, and Questioning Skills.  

Each semester, students completed the teachers' evaluation. Students will rate their subject teachers using the institutional evaluation form as a baseline. Commitment, Knowledge, Teaching for Independent Learning, Learning Management, and Professionalism are among the evaluation criteria.

The ratings will be distributed to the faculty after the evaluation of the students has been completed so that they are aware of their ratings as well as the comments and suggestions of the students. This faculty evaluation helps the faculty develop their teaching skills, classroom management, and professionalism.
