Abstract

This article presents the analysis of the Dual Training System
(DTS) approach to capacity building for entrepreneurial community development (ECD) through the Dualtech training curriculum. Descriptive method of research was used with referral system as basis for selecting respondents. Secondary
data and survey questionnaires were used. Descriptive analysis was conducted using contingency tables and chi-square test. Results showed the four components of DTS training curriculum, knowledge, attitude, skill, and practice (KASP) were essential in the training program implementation. Weighted mean score showed that changes in the level of KASP of DTS respondents increased by about 50 percent. The DTS curriculum and the change in KASP were strongly associated. The changes in KASP in DTS curriculum and in the community, institution, individual/family ECD variables were related. Changes in KASP in the ECD
variables had weak to moderate association with the economic status of the respondents. The paper presents a set of recommendations to enhance the effectiveness of DTS.
