Abstract: The study identified and analyzed the challenges in the implementation of the Civic Welfare Training Service (CWTS) at City College of Naga for the school year 2022-2023. The following were answered: (1) the level of CWTS implementation in terms of entrepreneurship and livelihood development, and safety and disaster preparedness; (2) the challenges encountered by the implementers along training package implementation, and community immersion; (3) the coping mechanisms adapted along the aspects; (4) the significant relationship between the level of implementation and the challenges encountered by the implementers; and between challenges and coping mechanisms; (5) the extent of influence of the level of implementation on the challenges encountered, and the challenges encountered on the coping mechanisms; and (6) the recommendations crafted to enhance the level of implementation and address the challenges encountered by the implementers. The study utilized a descriptive-correlational research method. Data were collected from 123 respondents using a researcher-made survey questionnaire and were analyzed statistically through weighted mean, Pearson Product-Moment of Correlation Coefficient, and Coefficient of Determination. The key findings were: (1) the level of CWTS implementation had a grand weighted mean of 2.31; (2) the challenges faced by implementers had a grand weighted mean of 3.12; (3) their coping mechanisms obtained a grand weighted mean of 2.34; (4) relationships were observed between entrepreneurship and livelihood development training, implementation, and community immersion, with correlation coefficients of 0.98 and 0.93, and p-values of 0.003 and 0.019, respectively; similar relationships were found between safety and disaster preparedness, with correlation coefficients of 0.98 and 0.93, and p-values of 0.002 and 0.023, respectively; and training package implementation with a correlation coefficient of 0.85 and a p-value of 0.070; (5) the level of implementation of CWTS influence the challenges encountered and the coping mechanisms revealed explanatory power values for entrepreneurship and safety preparedness of 0.96 and 0.97, respectively; while training implementation showed an explanatory value of 0.075; and (6) policy recommendations were developed to address challenges, enhance programs, and ensure CWTS sustainability. The major conclusions were: (1) the level of CWTS implementation in entrepreneurship, livelihood development, safety, and disaster preparedness was fairly implemented; (2) implementers acknowledged and agreed on the challenges encountered; (3) coping mechanisms of implementers showed a low level of adaptability; (4) the relationship between entrepreneurship and safety initiatives, training package implementation, and community immersion were significant, but training package implementation and coping mechanisms were not significant; similarly, community immersion and training package effectiveness were significant, but coping mechanisms were not significant; (5) entrepreneurship and livelihood development strongly influenced training and community immersion, while safety and disaster preparedness had a strong influence on training and a moderate influence on community immersion; challenges related to the training package influenced coping mechanisms and community immersion, while community immersion strongly influenced training packages and had moderate self-influence; and (6) policy recommendations were designed to address implementers' concerns and improve CWTS delivery to meet field challenges effectively.
