Brief Description
The study is a graduate tracer research that examined the labor marketability and employability outcomes of PSEd and SPEd graduates from a Center of Excellence university in the Philippines. Using the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) Graduate Tracer Study instrument, the researchers gathered data from graduates regarding their employment experiences, career progression, salary levels, job placement, and the applicability of the knowledge and skills gained from their academic programs. The study also evaluated the effectiveness of the curriculum in preparing graduates for the workforce and identified factors influencing employment and career development.
Expected Output
The study is expected to generate a comprehensive employability profile of PSEd and SPEd graduates, including employment and unemployment rates, job alignment with academic preparation, local and international employment trends, career advancement patterns, and salary profiles. It is also expected to provide evidence on the relevance of the curriculum and the usefulness of acquired competencies in the workplace. Ultimately, the findings will serve as a basis for curriculum enhancement, program improvement, accreditation requirements, and the development of strategies that will strengthen graduate employability and better align educational offerings with labor market demands.
