Abstract :
The researchers used the unified/institutional
checklist questionnaire, which applies to all the colleges in
the institution, to conduct a tracer study. This descriptive
survey research is the first institutional tracer study of the
school. Every college of the institution had done their
respective share of conducting a tracer study but they have
their set of questions to ask from their graduates. Through
the unified survey questionnaire, the 912 respondents
across the Colleges were able to give relevant information
based on uniform questions. As a result of the study, the
researchers found that the respondents’ main reason in
choosing their present profession is that it is aligned with
their degree programs. The respondents’ academic
program through their professional courses had helped
them grasp the needed knowledge in their degree. Co-
Curricular activities were big help in bringing out the full
potential of the respondents, and it is part of their
training/skills-enhancement in human relations. However,
facilities were not fully maximized in helping the
respondents during their school days. During their pre-
employment stage, limited quota of the number of
employees to be accepted in the job; and the failure in
passing the job-prescribed examination were the topmost
problems experienced by the respondents in their
application for their first job. The respondents rated very
satisfactory the quality of education offered by the
institution. The researchers formulated an employability
action plan to help the graduating students develop their
employability traits, to get a job that matches their taken
degree program the soonest possible time upon graduation.
