Higher education institutions are expected to produce quality and competitive graduates for the job market and nation-building. In realizing this role, the Bukidnon State University needs to ensure that graduates may land a job-relevant and aligned with their education and training. With this, a tracer study was conducted to verify whether the three batches of graduates are employed and are employable. It ascertained their employability based on their work experience from graduation to the present job. It employed a cross-sectional method and data mining for the information of 326 graduates. The results revealed that the majority of graduates had jobs relevant to their education and training; yet, there was a significant difference in the employability of graduates across batches, except in terms of gender. Biological Science, Social Studies, and Math graduates were employable within the first six and twelve months compared to graduates from other curricula. It was claimed that the BukSU had prepared BSE graduates for employment. These results have implications for the strategic options in improving the programs. The study made some recommendations for future tracer initiatives.

It is in this context that this study was conducted.…”

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.

“…However, tracer studies may vary in their emphasis depending on the primary motivation of the institution. There have been tracer studies on employability (Melink, & Pavlin, 2009;Aspiring Minds,2016;Domingo, 2013;Gedye & Beaumont, 2018;Baking, 2015;Woya, 2019;Javier, 2015;Boholano, 2012;Navida, 2017;Abarro, 2017;Napallaton & Baquiller, 2017). However, there is a scarcity of research on the employment status of graduates (Infante, Junco, & Marquez, 2014).…”

Tracing graduates has become an imperative for higher education institutions much more during the pandemic. This tracer determined the employment and employability status of the 2019 BSE graduates and identified the competencies they adequately acquired and deemed vital for work. It used descriptive design, and data were collected from the 103 graduates through a Google form with open and closed-ended questions administered between November and December 2020. Results revealed that most of the graduates had been employed in teaching and teaching-related jobs but mostly in contractual arrangements within the first and second six months after graduation. Many had their first jobs with meager salaries from the private sector. Communication, pedagogy, information communication technology, time management, and flexibility were the top competencies they adequately acquired and were beneficial in work. The study concluded that these graduates had acquired 21st-century skills in their respective degree programs. These results have corresponding implications for future research in confirming the most employable skills in secondary teaching. As recommended, classroom instruction might emphasize the development of these skills. Eventually, these become the competitive advantage and employability capitals of future graduates. Administering the licensure examination and the release of its results can be done within the first three months after graduation to lessen the cost of waiting.
