ANNUAL ACCOMPLISHMENT REPORT IN TECHNICAL-VOCATIONAL
LIVELIHOOD EDUCATION (SHIELDED METAL ARC WELDING)
S.Y 2023-2024
I. INTRODUCTION
The Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) program for the academic year
2023-2024 has been marked by significant achievements and milestones. As an
integral part of our commitment to excellence in vocational education, we are
pleased to present this annual accomplishment report highlighting the key
activities, achievements, and developments throughout the year.

The SMAW program aims to equip students with the necessary skills,
knowledge, and techniques in shielded metal arc welding, commonly known as
stick welding. Throughout the academic year, students undergo comprehensive
training, both theoretical and practical, to prepare them for successful careers in
welding and related industries.

II. OBJECTIVES
This report intends to:
1. To equip students with the theoretical knowledge, practical skills, and
safety awareness necessary to proficiently perform shielded metal arc
welding (SMAW) techniques, preparing them for successful careers in the
welding industry.
2. Offer ample opportunities for hands-on practice in SMAW, allowing
students to develop proficiency in striking and maintaining the arc,
controlling the weld puddle, and executing various weld joint
configurations across different materials and thicknesses
3. Provide students with comprehensive instruction covering the
principles, techniques, and applications of SMAW, including electrode
selection, joint preparation, welding positions, and troubleshooting
common welding defects.

III. HIGHLIGHTS OF ACCOMPLISHMENT

A. Student Development
1.We are proud to report that sixteen (16) students successfully completed
the SMAW program during the 2023-2024 academic year.
2. Sixteen (16) students achieved industry-recognized certifications,
demonstrating their proficiency in SMAW techniques.
3. Strengthened its partnerships with local industries and welding
professionals, providing students with valuable opportunities for
internships, job placements, and hands-on experience.
4. Industry workshops, and visits were organized to expose students to
real-world welding applications and trends, fostering a deeper
