Furthermore, the study also identifies several factors to predict job offering to the respondent.

These respondents were selected through stratified random sampling based on location of training institutions. Data was analyzed by frequency and percentage for descriptive statistics and logistic regression for inferential statistics. The result shows MNC and GLC companies’ offers block release training mode meanwhile SME companies’ offers day release training mode. The result shows that the three combination independent variables significantly predict getting a job offer.
