The Employability Study and Employers' Perception of Business Administration Graduates From a Higher State Educational Institution in the Philippines
Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2023, Vol 9, Issue 8
Abstract
This study aimed to assess the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration graduates from a higher state educational institution in the Philippines on their education and employability vis-à-vis the employers' perspective on graduates' performance and the curricular program. The study used descriptive and qualitative research methods with 200 graduate respondents and employers. The study results show that immediate employment was the foremost reason for enrolling in the program; few graduates pursued advanced studies, but several attended professional training and development. Meanwhile, 81.50% of the graduates were employed, mostly in contractual employment in private companies; and holding rank-and-file positions. Graduates claimed the curriculum was relevant to their jobs. The employers rated the graduates as "much competent" in the workplace, while soft skills were rated as "very much competent "and technical skills as "much competent." The graduates found teamwork, good relationship, professionalism, work ethics, and effective communication to be strengths. To further improve the employability and skills of graduates, a curriculum review is needed; adopt field trips to enhance learning outcomes; establish business technology and simulation rooms; faculty development; and expand linkages with industries for corporate training and employment of graduates.
