Abstract/Summary

This study defines and translates into strategic decisions the vision of Don Bosco Technical College-Mandaluyong (DBTC) to be a technological resource center of the country for the twenty-first century.The study employed a descriptive and developmental design. It identified the (1) profile of the external and internal environments, (2) vision of DBTC), and (3) general directions of DBTC in attaining its vision. The developmental design facilitated the use of processes in drawing up some relevant profiles and descriptions. Interviews, documentary analyses, and discussions were the research procedures.Four relevant phases were mapped out. These were:Phase One: Identifying Opportunities for DBTCThe significant government-created opportunities were the (1) promotion of electronic products, metal components, and computer software, as export winners (2) expansion and modernization of telecommunications (3) the need for qualified instructors for technical-vocational institutions (4) creation of the Dual Training System Law (5) call for greater accessibility to technical-vocational training and, (6) the relevance of basic and technical skills training due to industrialization.Phase Two: Detecting Distinctive Competencies and Core Values of DBTC
