Abstract:
This study aims to determine the employment profile of graduates as a means of providing input on the suitability of Gordon College's BSHM program by identifying their employment profiles and present employment situations. Descriptive quantitative design was used in this study. 88.23 percent or 330 graduates were able to respond to this study. Based on the initial findings of the study, there is a high employment rate for batches 2020 to 2024. Majority of them are currently working within the scope of hospitality and tourism industry. In terms of salary, most of the graduates are earning within the average salary of a Filipino worker. For those who are unemployed, one of the reasons were family issues which resulted to their decision to not work at the moment. The findings revealed that some of the graduates have already advanced in their career by being in the managerial and supervisory level. The respondents also believed that the skills and knowledge that the faculty and the institution have given to them were beneficial for their current line of work. As a result, the researcher suggests that the school provide suitable orientation and career pathing for its students to steer them toward the future that they want to build, and that the department properly explain what the HT sector provides. Finally, this analysis must be used to determine whether courses should be omitted or added to the programs' curriculum to ensure that students are exposed to a wide range of HRM-related tasks, communication activities, and skill-building exercises that will prepare them for real-world circumstances.
