This study and the analysis showed the following findings. A total of 314 trainee-graduates claimed the following had contributed a little: include financial component in a skills training program, establish linkage with banks, NGOs that have lending programs and increased employability and productivity. A total of 31 stakeholders claimed that the forgoing items had contributed a little. For the conclusions, training preparation. Lack of qualified trainor, lack of well-developed training design, course plan does not utilize the indigenous materials, time schedule, lack of funds, lack of defined recruitment criteria of trainees, uncooperative officials, lack of training coordinator and lack of training venue. For the recommendation, there should be a training coordinator based in the community to organize/activate and plan for a skills training program. Likewise, the coordinator should monitor and follow-up the training program and the status of the trainees.
