Abstract
The goal of every academic institution is to prepare students for life and work. Aside from completing competencies based on the curriculum, institutions also offer education-based activities such as performing arts which provide opportunities to enhance the imagination and intelligence of student artists and develop various skills. In connection, this study aimed to identify the attainment of basic skills towards life and work and the impact of the training in the development of 21st-century skills. A mixed method design was employed using quantitative for the level of attainment of the former University of the Cordilleras – Center for Creative Productions (UC-CCP) members on life and work where questionnaire and weighted mean were utilized. Qualitative was used to determine the impact of the training program in the development of 21st-century learning and innovation skills along with creativity, critical thinking, communication, and collaboration through focus group discussion using a saturation method. Findings show that respondents have fully attained both life (3.51) and work (3.42). The impacts include high standards, making objective decisions, listening, and teamwork. With these results, performing arts is a big contributor to better real-life activities of the UC-CCP members. The University should therefore develop a developmental guideline for the CCP. The UC-CCP shall foster new approaches in developing knowledge, skills, and attitude, preparing globally competitive individuals promoting culture and arts, holistic development, and quality educational experiences.
