Abstract:
This tracer study focuses on the employability of the graduates of the Mabalacat City College from batch 2020, 2021, and 2022 by determining the factors associated with their chosen career path. The respondents of the study were 98 graduates of Accountancy in Mabalacat City College who were asked to answer a survey questionnaire through MS Forms which was given to them through online. Results revealed that two of the determined factors were significant to the graduate's employment status and these are "Related to Special Skills" and "Related to the Course of Study". Results also revealed that "Salaries and Benefits" is not considered as one of the determined factors affecting the employment status of the respondents. Finally, the researchers suggest to conduct a tracer study every 4 years to deepen the context of this study and to continuously update the whereabouts of the graduates of Bachelor of Science in Accountancy specifically in Mabalacat City College.
