——— The objective of this research was to assess the managerial skills of Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) members in Talavera, Nueva Ecija, with the purpose of formulating a targeted development plan to improve the efficiency of personnel whose SK is located in Talavera. The delivery of a self-administered questionnaire to each member of the SK allowed the use of a study technique that included both descriptive and quantitative elements. During the data analysis phase, descriptive statistics and weighted averages were used to determine the SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) related to managerial skills. The assessment results revealed that the individual has a strong competence in the areas of data analysis, strategic planning, and efficient communication. In contrast, several aspects were identified as having potential for enhancement, such as economic understanding, flexibility, and tailored communication to meet the specific needs of each individual. To rectify these deficiencies and maximize the existing resources, a sustainability plan was developed. The primary goals of this approach were to improve economic literacy via online courses and workshops, to strengthen marketing efforts by targeted media and data analytics, and to better management practices by the implementation of scenario planning and training programs. Through the implementation of the proposed sustainability plan, the School of Knowledge (SK) in Talavera has the potential to achieve long-term sustainability in marketing, managerial, and economic aspects, according to the research results. The aforementioned conclusion was obtained from the empirical findings of the study. Consequently, they will possess the ability to effectively champion the interests of the local residents in their constituency, actively contribute to the development of the community, and promote a future that is more robust and economically sustainable.
