Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) are responsible for supplying the labor market with professionals that not only possess knowledge, but also the competencies and skills demanded by the workplace. In order to evaluate the relevance of their program offerings to the demand of the labor market, colleges and universities, like the Nueva Ecija University of Science and Technology (NEUST), conduct tracer studies on the employability of their graduates. With this, the researchers conducted this tracer study to determine the employability of the teacher education graduates of NEUST, San Isidro Campus from 2016 to 2020. It further aimed to trace their employment and the skills or competencies that they have acquired from the university which proved to be useful in their current employment, as well as their correlation with each other. It used descriptive-correlation method. The findings revealed that there is positive correlation between the graduates' select profile variables and their employment and their perceived useful competencies and skills. There was also a direct correlation between their employment and their perceived useful competencies and skills. Recommendations for future tracer study initiatives were also made.
