Abstract:

This study investigated the employment outcomes and program relevance of Bachelor of Science in Business Administration major in Financial Management (BSBA-FM) graduates from Kalinga State University (KSU) for the years 2021 to 2023. Addressing the gap in localized tracer studies, it aimed to determine graduates’ employment status, skill application, and the alignment of academic preparation with industry needs. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected through a survey of 69 graduates. Results showed that 80% were employed, with most securing their first jobs through walk-in applications (71%) and occupying entry-level or clerical positions. Monthly earnings were primarily between Php5,000 and Php10,000 (89%). Graduates expressed high job satisfaction and identified human relations, communication, and critical thinking as the most valuable competencies gained from their program. The BSBA-FM curriculum was perceived to have significantly enhanced teamwork and learning efficiency. However, a notable portion of respondents had not pursued further training or advanced studies. Findings indicate a strong alignment between the BSBA-FM program and immediate employability, particularly in cultivating soft skills essential for the workplace. To strengthen long-term career outcomes, the study recommends enhancing career services, upgrading facilities, and integrating more industry-relevant content.
