The valuable insights acquired from implementing e-learning during the COVID-19 pandemic should be maintained to ensure effective and efficient learning in the era after the pandemic. An effective strategy is implementing Blended Learning, which integrates conventional face-to-face teaching with online learning. However, schools have chosen not to adopt Blended Learning due to various conditions. The objective of this community service program was to provide vocational school instructors and education personnel with the requisite competencies to incorporate the blended learning model into their pedagogical approaches proficiently. The adopted technique involves organising workshops and delivering technical training to support the implementation of the integrated learning model. The main beneficiaries of this project are educators and other professionals in the field of education. The event has been slated for August 2023. The workshop will be carried out in a tripartite manner, consisting of three consecutive stages: assessment, workshop, and evaluation. The workshop activity outcomes suggest that the participating teachers clearly comprehend the benefits of employing the blended learning paradigm. They expressed their readiness to adopt the Blended Learning instructional strategy as an extra method to complement existing learning models, strategies, and techniques.
