a gender-based analysis of the employability and skills of graduates, specifically in CBEA, was conducted. This was anchored with the Commission of Higher Education – Graduate Tracer Study (CHED-GTS), an extremely effective approach for assessing the whereabouts and performance of graduates in the workplace (Cuadra, Aure and Gonzaga, 2022). The employability and competencies of the BS in Tourism Management (BSTM) graduates as employees should be evaluated using the Sex-Disaggregated Data (SDD) approach. Gender-based analysis to describe the profile of the BSTM graduates from the College of Business, Economics, and Accountancy (CBEA) to look into their profile and elicit recommendations to improve the degree program or curriculum. The gender role-oriented questions should be adopted into the CHED-GTS survey questionnaire and utilized as a research tool.  The tracer study of graduates from the college's degree programs is one of the steps in the said analysis. 

The study's findings provided job-specific data on alumni and their competencies, as well as the relevance of the degree program and curriculum. Suggestions to improve the BSTM curriculum of CBEA are obtained from the graduates as the basis for curricular revision. 

The conduct of this graduate tracer study serves as an avenue to generate data on employment and the extent of the relevance of competencies as a feedback mechanism on the effectiveness of the BSTM curricula. This viewpoint provides administrators and other key personnel with a better grasp of the institution's program offerings as well as existing and potential students.
