Abstract: This study was conducted to identify the feedback of the trainers from the Philippine National Police (PNP), Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) and the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) where the student–trainees who were enrolled in the Internship Program of the College of Criminology undertook their On–the–Job Training. A total of one hundred thirteen (113) students were evaluated based on their performance in terms of their personal characteristics, attitude towards the job, job performance and job competence. Feedback from their trainers indicated that they exceptionally exhibited skills during their On–the–Job Training which resulted in a very satisfactory response from their trainers. The trainers noticed that the students were well–equipped and trained to the jobs related to the different areas in the field of Criminology. It was also recognized by their supervisors that the students were very enthusiastic to learn new skills. However, some recommendations were also proposed by the researchers and that include the revisiting of the existing curriculum of the program to ensure that it is aligned with the skills needed in the industry.
