Employment status of the graduates of bachelor of physical education in Bicol state college of applied sciences and technology, Philippines

Abstract

The employability of graduates is a symbol of the quality of an academic institution. In addition, graduates are the product of the institutions' efforts to help the nation move forward. This tracer research was performed to assess the job status of Bachelor of Physical Education graduates of the Bicol State College of Applied Sciences and Technology A / Y 2018—2019. The survey instrument tailored to the study is the structured tracer study questionnaire formulated by the Higher Education Commission of the Philippines. The questionnaires have been distributed via the online platform. On the basis of the data provided, the majority of graduates are female. In addition, despite the graduation rating of "slightly satisfied" with their knowledge and skills acquired in the curriculum of the Bachelor of Physical Education, the majority of graduates are employed in different sectors of society. It is also found that the primary reason for those who were not employed was to pursue further studies. Based on the findings, there is a need for an institutionalized career counseling network for students to follow their key fields and for a forum between high school graduates and their parents and teachers to build a career direction and a successful work climate. In addition, the Bachelor of Physical Education curricula can be improved to guarantee that participants are prepared with the expertise they need to be at the same standard as the business.
