According to Reyes (2016) “There are a lot of specialized strands in TVL. One of

passing the assessment to be given by the Technical Education and Skills Development
Authority (TESDA). The Technical Vocational and Livelihood track in the Junior and
Senior High School is taught in the form of Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE)
subject. It has the role of preparing the students for the work.”
Popova, (2012) stated that “The hospitality field, by definition, is a service industry.
Its task is to create shareholder wealth by servicing and satisfying guests. Industry segments
include, among others: hotels, restaurants, private clubs, managed food service, event
planning, tourism related business, and travel providers. More often than not, the product
purchased is either intangible or the perceived quality of the product purchased is impacted
by the service method in which it is received. Langhorn (2004) noted that in hospitality, the
service provider is “part of the product itself”. For guests to be satisfied, they not only must
believe that they have received a valuable service for their dollar, but also feel values and

people who are away from home. The hospitality and tourism industry (H&T industry)
meets the needs of people with kindness and good will while they are away from their
homes. The H&T industry has four service sectors: food and beverage, lodging, recreation
and travel and tourism. The H&T industry is about service. The industry provides service to
people when they are away from their home and sometimes even when they are home. For
example, home delivery of food would be part of hospitality industry as would a masseuse
that does home visits or a cook that does at home cooking lessons or catering.”
event, or when referring to managing a hotel (for example), it would mean managing all the
different departments and members of staff so that the paying guests feel welcomed and
enjoy their stay. It is important that these people know that you are warm and friendly, so
that they would probably return to the venue again in the future. Hospitality is part of the
service industry, so the individuals working in hospitality management must hold these
essential qualities, which would make paying guests want to return. As someone who works
in this field, you must be able to perform your duties to a very high standard. This is because
you are dealing with either the general public, or in the case of conferences and conventions,
serving any level of management. These are often ‘ordinary’ people, but they are the ones
who must go with a strong feeling of wanting to return to that same venue, should the need
arise in the future. Hospitality is at the top of the list of the largest international industries

Cmaresourcesorg (2017) specified that “The real practice and essence of hospitality
makes people feel they belong. It makes people feel special, important, and warmly welcomed
into your life-not just your home! It’s receiving strangers like they are family, and
communicating through your words and actions that they are well worth your time and effort.”
Cruz, (2015) mentioned that “The best way to decrease poverty is to give jobs to the
unemployed. However employers could not hire high school graduates. This was called the
mismatch between what the schools produced and what business and industry needed. Let us

industry, with producers and consumers spread across the world. This fact and its
transformation towards maturity have presented new challenges for the managers of
hospitality and tourism businesses. The progressive nature of customer expectations and the

ways through which they can maintain leadership in the marketplace. This study proposes the

pressure and allow to maintain the anonymity of the respondents. It also allows the
researchers to gather data in large audience. Through the checklist questionnaire, it made
the collection of results quick and easy. The researcher decided to divide the
questionnaire into four sections since TVL strand has three (3) major subjects and the
other section is about the future job of the TVL students. In that way, respondents easily
