Teachers are the foundation of the education system. The study explored the teachers self-efficacy, experiences with communication apprehension, and perceptions of teacher induction program components and outcomes. This data from 121 beginning teachers across 36 schools in the Division of Quezon—specifically in Sariaya East and West, and Candelaria East and West—the research spanned three academic years: 2021–2022, 2022–2023, and 2023–2024. Findings revealed that teachers who felt more confident in their ability to communicate whether through public speaking, participating in group discussions, or holding interpersonal conversations, also tended to view induction programs more positively. Beginning teachers demonstrated stronger self-efficacy, showing greater assurance in classroom decision-making, collaboration, and instructional practices. Communication confidence appeared to support a smoother adjustment, allowing beginning teachers to actively engage with their training, seek support, and build stronger professional identities. The results also highlighted the importance of induction programs and the role of involvement in shaping early teaching experiences.
