Description
This study evaluated the career outcomes of Hospitality Management and Entrepreneurship graduates of Abuyog Community College from 2022 to 2025, including employability, the relevance of their knowledge and skills to their current occupation, and the challenges encountered in the job market. A survey questionnaire was used to gather data from 35 Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management (BSHM) and 25 Bachelor of Science in Entrepreneurship (BSENTREP) graduates, totaling 60. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (frequency counts and percentages). The respondents were given a modified CHED’s survey questionnaire in a group chat through Facebook Messenger. Results showed that most respondents are employed, some working abroad; the knowledge and skills learned in college are relevant to their current occupation; they encounter high competition and limited job openings; and they have limited professional networks/connections. Based on the results of this study, the researcher highly recommends building partnerships with overseas employers and agencies to create internship and job placement pipelines, encouraging graduates to create their own ventures by offering incubation programs, seed funding opportunities, mentorship from industry experts, and integrating practical business plan development to prepare students for self-employment.
