Sultan Kudarat State University after 33 years of operation recently sent a group of 10 drivers and two support staff to attend a three-day seminar titled “Skills and Personality Enhancement and Values Restoration Training,” held from August 2 to August 4, 2024, in Baguio City. This event was sponsored by Superior de La Corporacion Filipina de Padres Agustinos Recoletos, Inc. The program aimed to enhance participants’ skills and encourage a sense of responsibility, focusing on both technical expertise and ethical conduct in road safety and workplace behavior.
The seminar kicked off with registration and an introductory session, setting the stage for the event. Participants took a pre-training assessment to evaluate their existing knowledge and skills. Sessions on traffic laws and regulations laid a solid theoretical groundwork, while core skills training emphasized defensive driving through practical sessions.
In the afternoon, the focus shifted to values training, particularly on responsible driving ethics. Personality development and communication skills were identified as crucial tools for drivers and support staff, culminating in a workshop on advanced driving skills.
The second day began with preliminary activities, followed by sessions on environmental awareness and eco-friendly driving techniques. Participants learned about their legal responsibilities and the ethical implications of their actions. A values restoration session further emphasized the importance of integrity and accountability both on the road and in the workplace.
Reflective workshops offered drivers and staff an opportunity to internalize lessons and share experiences. The day wrapped up with a post-training assessment and feedback session, enabling participants to assess their progress. The final day included a tour of Baguio City, allowing participants to apply their newly acquired skills in a real-world context.
Overall, the training was a significant success, equipping drivers and staff with the essential tools to navigate roads safely and responsibly. Sultan Kudarat State University remains dedicated to on-going education and development, ensuring that drivers and staff are fully prepared to meet the demands of modern roadways and workplaces.
