Abstract:

This study aimed to determine the employability of Grade 12 Technical, Vocational, and Livelihood (TVL) graduates from schools in highly industrialized districts of Laguna. The researcher employed a descriptive quantitative research design using a correlational method. This involved gathering and analyzing numerical data to test the hypothesis. The researchers utilized the purposive random sampling method to select respondents for the study. It is crucial to select a representative sample of graduates from schools in highly industrialized districts of Laguna. The study will employ a research made survey questionnaire as the primary data collection tool. Relative Frequency, Weighted Mean, Chi-Square, Pearson-r correlation were the statistical tools used in the study. The results revealed that the majority of TVL graduates were moderately prepared. They possessed technical skills acquired through hands-on training in various fields such as automotive technology, culinary arts, electronics, and welding. Additionally, they demonstrated adaptability and flexibility, as they were trained to work effectively in diverse environments and handle various tasks and responsibilities. To enhance employability, it is recommended to develop an industry-driven curriculum that aligns with the needs and requirements of industries in highly industrialized districts. Regular updates to the curriculum should be made to incorporate the latest technologies, skills, and industry trends.
