Abstract: This paper explores the nature and work status of technical vocational workers in various industries of the CALABARZON Region, Philippines. The data were obtained through survey questionnaires with one hundred thirty-five (135) employees who started their careers in low, intermediate, and high-skilled segments of the labor market. Majority of the skilled workers are young and single. Most of them were advanced in using technology in their workplace, but many of them felt the need for more relevant technical skills training. This paper provides an analysis of the emerging needs of the industrial workers for the security of tenure, better compensation, and provision for relevant skills training. The findings posed a significant implication to review specific organizational policies considering the work benefits of industrial workers and plan for appropriate intervention towards a robust, sustainable, and balanced growth of the skilled workforce.
