Abstract: This quantitative descriptive study aimed to assess the training needs of the Alternative Learning System (ALS) learners in Monkayo District, Philippines. The research utilized a structured approach to gather information that describes ALS learners’ demographic profiles and training preferences. The study revealed that most ALS learners are female, aged 18-35, and unemployed, with a strong inclination towards practical, skills-based training. The findings emphasized the importance of tailoring training programs to ALS learners’ specific needs and abilities, highlighting the demand for vocational courses such as computer applications, agriculture, and trade skills. The research also identified a keen interest in literacy and numeracy, emphasizing the need to balance practical skills with essential academic competencies. The outcomes of this study aspire to empower ALS stakeholders in their pursuit of excellence and innovation in alternative education, ultimately enriching the educational experience of learners and fostering positive social change within communities. This research serves as a catalyst for informed decision-making and strategic planning within the ALS community, providing empirical insights to inform the design and implementation of targeted training interventions.
