The study revealed that BACD graduates 2019-2021 have high employment rates and were able to land a job after graduation. The majority of the graduates are employed in the private sector and are holding permanent and temporary positions. Many of the graduates hold high-level positions, while others engage in social work. Most of the graduates find their job as walk-in applicants and through recommendations and referrals. Communication skills, organizing skills, and personal relations have helped the graduates find a job.
