Abstract

This study investigates the integration of livelihood projects in Cookery specialization and its impact on entrepreneurship skills development among Grade 11 students at General Mariano Alvarez Technical High School. The research aims to determine the relationship between integrating livelihood projects and enhancing entrepreneurial skills among Technical-Vocational-Livelihood (TVL) students. Specific objectives include assessing respondents' perceptions of project integration concerning planning, budgeting, production, and marketing; understanding their views on entrepreneurship skills development, focusing on innovation, resilience, communication, problem-solving, decision-making, and financial literacy. A descriptive correlational design is employed, and data is gathered from all 110 students across two sections using a survey instrument. Statistical analysis includes frequency-percentage distribution, mean, standard deviation, and Pearson correlation. Findings reveal that most parents are employed with a monthly income below 10,000 pesos. Participants perceive the livelihood project positively, noting improvements in planning, budgeting, production, and marketing skills. Additionally, they report enhanced entrepreneurship skills, including communication, problem-solving, and financial literacy. In conclusion, the study identifies a significant relationship between integration of livelihood project and entrepreneurship skills development.
