This study attempted to analyse the occupational requirements of garment establishments in Samar: their implications to the garment course offering in Samar State Polytechnic College. The researcher design employed in the endeavour was the descriptive survey method. Forty six workers, 15 shop instructors and 16 garment establishment owners were made respondents of this study. The two groups of respondents, the owners and workers showed they have no preference when it comes to age. They are after the output. Therefore the college should see to it that our high school graduates should possess and even in the skills possessed by ordinary workers in establishments. The difference in perceptions in technical knowledge shows the difference between the college graduate in garments workers need to be upgraded and they should be exposed to modern equipment and machines. The two groups of respondents, the establishment owners and the workers, were different from the teachers in treating educational qualification, age preference and technical knowledge as requirements. The two groups showed lower standards than the teachers group. Shorter training period is recommended. The two year Technical Curriculum should be enriched to meet the needs of the establishments in Samar. Expose our students to modern equipment and machines simulating the industry's atmosphere.
