Abstract : This study developed and evaluated a cross-platform Graduate Tracer System designed to support institutional employability monitoring and data-driven decision-making. Anchored on a descriptive-developmental design, the study utilized graduate profile and employment records from Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering graduates across campuses of North Eastern Mindanao State University from academic years 2019 to 2022. The system consolidated graduate information, current employment status, job classification, and analytic reports into a mobile-responsive repository. System quality was evaluated using software quality parameters aligned with ISO/IEC 25010. Results show that the institutional graduate data set reached 600 graduates, with 276 valid responses. Employment outcomes varied across campuses and programs, with generally favorable employment indicators but observable differences in permanent, contractual, self-employed, and temporary work arrangements. The system obtained an overall weighted mean of 4.16, interpreted as very good, with performance efficiency rated excellent. The findings indicate that a crossplatform tracer system can reduce fragmented graduate monitoring, support timely reporting, and provide actionable evidence for curriculum review, career services, and industry linkage planning.
