Ramelyn Natividad | Lida Rose Baylon
Abstract:
The study aimed to determine the Bachelor of Science Business
Administration program graduates' employability and school
acquired skills and competencies related to their occupation. A
modified Graduate Tracer Study instrument was utilized and
converted in to google form to gather the quantitative data. The
said instrument was divided into three parts; the first part covers
the general information, the name, address, birthday, contact
number and email address, and educational attainment. The
second part contains the training received from the program, such
as values formation, skills enrichment seminars, and work
practice. The last part contains the employment data including
current jobs, status, type of institution employed with, and the
specific nature of work. Out of 487 respondents, only 60
responses representing the sample population were analyzed
using confidence level probability. The finding revealed that most
of the graduates were single and female, hold the rank-and-file
position, and occupy a regular or permanent employment status.
The perceived skills and competencies such as communication
skills, leadership, critical thinking, human relation, problemsolving skills, and entrepreneurial skills given by the BSBA
program were considered relevant and applicable in the
performance in their jobs. The study also determined that BSBA
graduates were primarily employed in the private serviceproviding institution and that salaries and benefits were the
reasons they accepted and stayed with their jobs.
