Abstract

This study aimed to trace the College of Hospitality and Tourism Management graduates of the University of Northern Philippines from 2015-2017. It employed a descriptive survey method of research. The researchers primarily used Facebook, email, and other social media in reaching out to the graduates. The data gathered were analyzed and interpreted using frequency, ranking, and weighted mean. The results showed that most of the graduates are employed and are occupying a position relevant to their degree. The subjects taught during their college days have been essential to their competitiveness in the work-field. However, the graduates lack some of the national certifications issued by Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA). The latter is one of the reasons why most graduates are working inside the country and have a hard time applying abroad. Thus, the college should create a linkage to TESDA and apply as an assessment center for these national certifications. Moreover, the college should exert much effort to communicate to the potential enrollees through job or career coaching about the work opportunities for the courses.
