📄 Abstract
This tracer study aimed to assess the employment rate and status, as well as self-rated perceptions of work attitude, educational quality, and skills development among Bachelor of Science in Criminology (BSC) graduates of Kapalong College of Agriculture, Sciences and Technology (KCAST) from academic years 2019 to 2023. The study utilized a descriptive research method to gather information on the traceability of BSC graduates. A complete enumeration random sampling method was employed, with a total population of 171 graduates (81 males and 90 females). Findings revealed that most graduates were single and aged between 20-30, with batch 2023 producing the highest number of graduates. A small percentage pursued vocational courses or further studies. The employment rate stood at 35%, with a majority employed as regular or job order employees. Graduates reported a relevant college degree to their present work, with a significant portion earning monthly incomes ranging from 11,000 to 30,000. The majority took 0-8 months to secure employment post-graduation. Additionally, a notable proportion worked in degree related jobs. The study found high levels of work ethic, educational quality provision, and skills and abilities development among BSC graduates. These findings contribute to KCASTs commitment to providing quality education and enhancing graduates employability, aligning with its institutional goals and social responsibilities.
