Abstract:

The alumni tracer study investigated the profile, current employment conditions, and place of work of USPian alumni in 20 higher education programs including only those who major in English, Political Science, Psychology, Music, Social Work, Elementary Education, Secondary Education, Pharmacy, Commerce, Accountancy, Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electronics & Communications Engineering, Geodetic Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Architecture, Computer Science, Information Technology, Nursing, and Law from Classes 2001 to 2010. The descriptive research design is utilized in tracing 2668 USPian alumni with a success rate of 12.7% or 340 actual alumni response. Based on the general findings of the study, the majority of the USPian alumni are working in line with the degree they earned at the University and were mostly Philippine-based. The minority are spread out to 15 foreign countries: Australia, Bahrain, Canada, Japan, Jeddah, KSA, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Oman, Qatar, Singapore, UAE, UK, and the USA. Recommendations to improve alumni profiling, eliminate current conditions of unemployment, embark on industry-perspective alumni research and other topics for future researches are recommended.
