Bridging the Fiber Future: Competency Assessment and Skills Development for Engineering and ICT Professionals in "CARCANMADCARLAN"

Author(s) Dr. Franklin Malbas Ganancias

Abstract This study seeks to examine the competency level of Engineering and ICT professionals in Carrascal, Cantilan, Madrid, Carmen and Lanuza (CARCANMADCARLAN) in terms of fiber network management, troubleshooting and maintenance. The study sample comprises of 80 respondents which consist of 15 Engineering and 65 ICT professionals randomly selected from government and private agencies throughout CARCANMADCARLAN. The data was obtained via survey questionnaire with closed and open-ended questions. Overall, participants demonstrated a High Level of competence, with a grand mean of 3.67, reflecting their solid proficiency in key areas such as ICT device operation, network configuration, and desktop/laptop troubleshooting. The high ratings in ICT Devices and Operation (mean of 4.95) and Network Maintenance Skills (mean of 4.43) suggest that these professionals are well-equipped to manage essential technological infrastructures, ensuring operational efficiency and stability.
The data also reveals notable gaps, particularly in Advanced Fiber Optic Skills, which received a low overall rating of 2.01. This suggests that while participants possess a good theoretical understanding of basic fiber optic technology, they lack the advanced technical skills necessary for tasks such as fiber optic splicing and termination. Under the desktop/laptop troubleshooting skills specifically on the component performing board level repair also shows a very low-level Mean rating of 1.75. It is therefore recommended that participants engage in more focused training in advanced board level repair and fiber optic network management to bridge this expertise gap and remain competitive in an evolving technological landscape.
