Salin-Kaalaman Tungo sa Kaularan (SKTK) Program
“Extension” as defined in the University
Within the context of PUP extension work, the Salin- Kaalaman, Tungo sa Kaunlaran (SKTK) is the flagship extension program of the university and it continuously promotes the transfer of knowledge and expertise of the members of the academic and administrative personnel to its target beneficiaries. SKTK also incorporates information dissemination and advisory services as well as linkages and networking as focal concerns of PUP’s extension work. The following concepts serve as a guide to further explain the University’s conduct of extension programs:
Community Extension is voluntary, research-based assistance in various forms rendered to partner beneficiaries by the faculty, administrative staff, and students of the University.
The EMO programs, projects, and activities are in line with the PUP’s vision, mission, goals, and objectives and are conducted by the University inside and outside of its premises. These are over and above the community service projects undertaken by the institutes as component requirements of academic instruction. These activities are conducted voluntarily by members of the PUP community: administration, teaching and non-teaching personnel, students, alumni and other stakeholders which aim to benefit marginalized sectors in society.
Technology Transfer, Utilization, and Commercialization
is a research-based engagement that deals with practical and commercially relevant applications and products. Technology transfer intends to share knowledge as products to target beneficiaries and thus help uplift the quality of lives of marginalized peoples. The transfer and sharing of generated knowledge outputs or products derived from the scientific study of member/s of the PUP academic community are intended for utilization and commercialization by the target beneficiaries.
Knowledge Transfer
a series of faculty-led training projects in partnership with the expertise of concerned units based on a community profiling and needs assessment of target beneficiaries as enumerated in the framework of the university extension agenda.
Empowerment that leads to the Improvement of Lives and Care for the Welfare of the Community
The vision of people empowerment through social development of the past and present leaders of the university are articulated in this PUP Extension Framework. The care for the welfare of the community, translated into the vernacular, “Lingap Komunidad”, has carried the core value of putting the interest of the members of the different sectors in the community specially the marginalized ones, in most of the extension efforts being initiated by the colleges, branches and other units of the university.
The university is committed to foster growth and development among its internal and external stakeholders by bringing about meaningful transformation into the lives of people that it serves through innovative and well-planned extension programs, projects and activities.
