Abstract

Every academic institution’s goal is to produce competent and highly qualified graduates that can eventually be competitive in a local and global arena. A graduate tracer study is a very powerful tool that can provide valuable information for evaluating the whereabouts and performance of the graduates in the workplace. This study aimed to keep track of all the scholars who were graduates of the UM Panabo College by utilizing the GTS (Graduate Tracer Study) of Commission on Higher Education. Results revealed that most of the graduates were in their early 20s and have just recently graduated from the university. Furthermore, they were able to find a job through someone they knew. Most of the graduates have jobs related to their respective degree programs of which their courses are readily available in the host institution. All of them are currently employed in the Philippines with regular/permanent status. Majority of them stays in the job because of its relevance to their field of specialization. It is notable that almost of the competencies were useful in their first job. Thus, there should be career enhancement for the graduates of the institution.
