Most of them are permanently employed and mentioned that it is their first job after graduation. Most of the graduates are teaching in the major field and they are connected with the government units. Majority of the graduates find employment through application letter and they have waited for more than a year before landing to a job. There are different competencies demanded of from teacher education graduates such as socio – personal, intellectual, and technical competence. The major problem of the graduates in job hunting is on financial aspect. Therefore, the course offering of the College is commendable since it caters the need of the locality and demand for employment opportunities thereby giving better chances for graduates to find job and eventually alleviating the economic condition of every citizen. The kind of orientation makes them qualified to diverse job opportunities in the real world.
