Abstract

This graduate tracer study aimed to analyze the current employability status of Cordova Public College graduates from 2019-2023, respectively. Specifically, it sought to unveil the employment data of the respondents. With this information, the researchers can recommend the courses and other initiatives that will be most pertinent to the fields of employment for the graduates from batches 2019-2023. The study used quota sampling and descriptive survey methods, which comprised 200 respondents from the S.Y. 2019- 2023. The main instrument for gathering data was a questionnaire checklist based on CHED Graduate Tracer Study Format. The following were the key conclusions of this study: most of the respondents came from Cordova, and most were female respondents. Regarding employment status, there were only 174 employed graduates, 25 unemployed, and one (1) never been employed. BEED has the highest employment rate, followed by the Bachelor of Hospitality Management (BSHM) as the second highest employment rate, and the lowest is BSED SCIENCE according to the population. Therefore, most Education graduates usually work according to their chosen career in college. It is recommended that Cordova Public College should develop strong relationships and partnerships with local and regional companies and organizations that hire professionals. Additionally, provide students with opportunities to participate in real-world projects, case studies, or simulations that mirror the challenges and decision-making processes in the hospitality industry.
