Abstract:
This study examined the employability of Bachelor of Elementary Education (BEED) graduates from Tagoloan Community College, batch 2018–2019, through a mixed-methods approach involving 99 respondents. Findings revealed that 86.9% of the graduates were employed, with 72.73% working in non-teaching fields, indicating the adaptability of BEED graduates in diverse professions. The research explored variables such as demographic profiles, licensure exam results, employment types, job positions, income levels, and participation in training or seminars. Socio-economic challenges influencing career outcomes were identified, leading to recommendations for curriculum enhancement and support programs to better align education with workforce demands. Employing total population sampling, the study included all BEED graduates of the specified year and utilized instruments adapted from prior research on BSED English graduates. Data collection involved online surveys and interviews, ensuring ethical compliance and respondent confidentiality. Statistical analysis covered factors such as age, gender, civil status, licensure eligibility, and employment attributes, while triangulation combined quantitative and qualitative insights. The study concluded that continuous curriculum review, graduate support initiatives, and strengthened linkages with industry partners are vital to sustaining and improving the employability and career readiness of BEED graduates in an evolving labor market.
