Abstract
Colleges play a crucial role in preparing students for the job market by providing a comprehensive education, equipping students with job-ready skills, and aiding graduates in securing suitable employment opportunities. To assess the effectiveness of their programs, a study was conducted on the graduates of Davao de Oro State College New Bataan from 2018 to 2019. The primary objective of the study was to collect detailed demographic data from the alumni and assess their perceptions of the course program, training, job, and employment status. The study used a descriptive research design and collected data from the second batch of graduates through a survey questionnaire. The findings revealed that while some graduates secured employment, most had contractual positions. Furthermore, some alumni were not employed due to lack of job experience, health issues, or limited job opportunities in their field of study. The study also indicated that most respondents who found employment had been working for less than two years. These results highlight the need for colleges to continually evaluate their programs and provide graduates with the necessary tools and resources to secure long-term employment opportunities. Finally, conducting another tracer study with graduate employers or supervisors is recommended to assess the graduates' job competitiveness. This can provide valuable feedback on the effectiveness of the college's programs and help the college identify areas for improvement to ensure that graduates are well-prepared for the job market.
