Abstract
This graduate tracer study investigated the employment outcomes and career trajectories of graduates from the Bachelor of Secondary Education Major in Mathematics program at Kapalong College of Agriculture, Sciences, and Technology during the academic years 2022 to 2023. The study, based on survey responses from all 49 graduates, explored demographic characteristics, employment status, income levels, relevance of education to employment, work attitudes, and skills development. Findings revealed that most graduates were female, single, and aged between 20 to 25 years. While most graduates were employed, a significant portion remained unemployed, with a notable percentage engaged in non-teaching roles. Despite this, a substantial proportion of graduates found their college degree highly relevant to their current work. The study indicated a high level of work attitude among graduates and underscored the institutions provision of quality education and effective skills development. The employment rate stood at 73.5%, indicating a favorable outcome for many graduates. However, recommendations were proposed to address areas of concern, including the establishment of a graduate employability coordinator, offering training for graduates in non-teaching roles, enhancing technical and entrepreneurial skills through specialized workshops and partnerships, and strengthening industry partnerships to expedite job placement. Overall, the study highlighted the strengths and areas for improvement in preparing mathematics graduates for the workforce, providing valuable insights for the institution to enhance its support for graduates career development.
