Abstract: The effectiveness of Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET)-trained instructors plays a vital role in enhancing students’ cognitive, technical, and practical skills acquisition. This study examined the relationship between instructor effectiveness at Oroquieta Agro-Industrial School (OAIS) and students' skill development using a descriptive-correlational research design. Data were gathered through structured surveys assessing instructor effectiveness in pedagogical skills, technical expertise, instructional methods, assessment and feedback, industry relevance, student engagement, and professional development. Students’ skills acquisition was measured in cognitive, technical, and practical domains, competency-based learning, retention and transferability, self-efficacy, feedback and reflection, and collaboration and teamwork. Descriptive statistics and correlation analysis revealed that TVET-trained instructors at OAIS demonstrated high effectiveness, particularly in pedagogical skills, technical expertise, and instructional methods, while students exhibited strong skills acquisition across all measured domains. A strong positive correlation was found between instructor effectiveness and students’ skills acquisition, highlighting the significant role of well-trained instructors in fostering hands-on learning and industry-aligned training. The study recommends continuous professional development, curriculum alignment with industry demands, stronger employer partnerships, increased funding, and community awareness to further enhance TVET education quality and student employability.
