Resumo

Os empregadores precisam de graduados que estejam mais bem preparados para o local de trabalho. Nas Filipinas, as instituições de ensino superior (IES) devem gerar graduados competentes que possam se adaptar às indústrias em rápida mudança, principalmente habilidades e competências. Para avaliar isso, as IES realizam regularmente pesquisas ou estudos de rastreamento ou empregabilidade para garantir que os graduados possuam as competências e habilidades de que os empregadores precisam e que o currículo seja relevante para as necessidades da indústria. Por esse motivo, os pesquisadores realizaram este estudo para documentar as características do emprego, a transição para o emprego e as habilidades adquiridas durante o estudo em uma universidade local de graduados do ano letivo (SY) 2016-2017 ao SY 2020-2021. A descoberta mais proeminente é que os graduados da universidade local veem que as competências e habilidades que adquiriram enquanto estudavam na escola são benéficas para suas carreiras e ajudam em suas classificações e salários. O objetivo da universidade de ser a escolha número um para graduados empregáveis se manifesta no local de trabalho.
