TRACER'S STUDY ON THE EMPLOYABILITY OF HOSPITALITY MANAGEMENT GRADUATES

Abstract

Abstract: This tracer study examines the employability and career outcomes of Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management (BSHM) graduates from the University of La Salette, Incorporated (ULS) between 2019 and 2023. The study aims to evaluate graduates’ employment status, job satisfaction, and the relevance of their academic preparation to current professional roles, thereby assessing the effectiveness of the BSHM program in meeting Commission on Higher Education (CHED) and accreditation standards. Using a descriptive research design, data were gathered through online surveys and interviews from a representative sample selected via simple random sampling. The structured questionnaire covered graduates’ profiles, employment details, perceptions of school contributions, and satisfaction with university services. Statistical analyses were employed to interpret the data, including descriptive statistics, weighted means, ranking, and ANOVA. Findings indicate that most graduates are young, single males who typically secure regular employment within six months, often utilizing digital platforms and personal networks. The program’s curriculum, especially its On-the-Job Training component, was highly relevant, fostering critical competencies such as technical skills, communication, leadership, and critical thinking, supporting career advancement and job satisfaction. Graduates also reported high satisfaction with faculty, instruction quality, and practical training. The study recommends enhancing practical experiences through stronger industry partnerships, expanding career support services, fostering collaborative efforts to improve employment conditions, continuously updating faculty development, and conducting regular tracer studies to maintain curriculum relevance in a dynamic hospitality industry. Keywords: Tracer study, employability, career outcomes, Hospitality Management, Graduates, Curriculum relevance.
