It answers the following questions: a. The degree of awareness and familiarity of the Philippine Army Civilian Personnel about the Career and Personnel Development Plan. b. The factors considered in the implementation of the plan. c. The extent of implementation of the plan for in-house and of-house training. d. The problems encountered in the implementation of the plan. A total of 295 civilian personnel representing 25% of the population was randomly chosen to constitute the sample of the study. However, only 216 survey questionnaires were returned. The major data gathering tool used were the survey questionnaire and Unstructured Interview tabled, tabulated and analyzed. Descriptive statistics has been used in the treatment of data. Statistical tools employed are the weighted mean, the Standard Deviation and the Chi-Square Test. Significant findings revealed that the respondents are aware and they are familiar with the Philippine Army Civilian Personnel Development plan. However, the respondents feel that there is poor information dissemination as regards to training opportunities. In terms of implementation, the plan has not been fully implemented, and that the employees training needs have not been properly identified. Employees undergo in-house and off-house training. However, employee development courses, professional, technical and scientific courses, to include orientation and reorientation courses have not been availed of by the majority of the civilian employees. The foremost problem in the implementation of the plan is favoritism or the bata-bata system. Observations of respondents are no different from the results of the survey. Based on these findings, it is recommended that continuous evaluation and assessment of the employee development program must be made. Likewise, studies must be made to determine if the various training programs conducted by the command are successful in terms of objective set, manner of implementation and the extent to which the overall employee development process achieve its goals. Further, there is a need to make a specific study on the curriculum of in-house trainings conducted by the command particularly the Orientation Course, Basic Civilian Personnel Course and the Civilian Personnel Supervisory Development Course ER -
