Abstract
Extension and community service of the college provides an in-depth evaluation of many aspects of community extension activities and their impact on beneficiaries. The demographic profile of beneficiaries, which includes age, gender, educational attainment, work status, income levels, and occupational positions, provides valuable insights into the characteristics of program participants. In particular, there is a gender discrepancy among recipients, with men outnumbering women, indicating potential biases or barriers to equal participation. The data also shows a high degree of participation and agreement among extension project beneficiaries and implementers, underscoring the importance of community involvement and collaboration in achieving good results.
Data provides insight into the frequency and percentage of participants in various training and seminar programs, demonstrating the variable levels of involvement across efforts. Respondent ratings for acquired knowledge, skills, values, attitudes, economic impact, social impact, environmental impact, planning, implementation, monitoring, and overall satisfaction with extension services show a strong alignment on the programs positive effects and benefits. The high ratings across a variety of factors indicate a high degree of satisfaction and agreement with the trainings effectiveness in developing skills, knowledge, attitudes, economic outcomes, social impact, and environmental sustainability.
Findings highlight the necessity of individualized extension programs that satisfy participants different needs and preferences, encourage community engagement, and empower individuals to improve their knowledge, skills, and overall well-being. The extension services have a good impact on the community, underlining the importance of continuing to provide innovative and timely training to improve self-capabilities and contribute to beneficiaries overall growth and empowerment.
