Abstract

The implementation of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) across Malaysia higher education institutions, particularly in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programmes underscores the importance of assessing long-term graduates’ performance. One of the key components of the OBE framework is the evaluation of Programme Educational Objectives (PEOs), which describes the anticipated achievements of graduates in their careers and professional lives in three to five years after graduation. This study focuses on assessing PEO achievement for the Diploma in Accountancy (DAT) programme at Politeknik Sultan Azlan Shah (PSAS), as part of the institution’s commitment to continuously improve quality of the programme. A structured survey was administered among 52 alumni from June 2014 and December 2014 cohorts to gather feedback on the relevance and attainment of the programme’s PEOs. Descriptive analysis, including level percentage and mean scores was used to interpret alumni responses. The results indicated that most graduates perceived the PEOs as both important and successfully achieved, particularly in areas related to the technical competence, communication, problem-solving, and lifelong learning. These findings were not only validating the programme’s alignment with industry expectations but also reinforce its contribution to broader educational and societal goals. In doing so, the study supports the national and global agenda for sustainable development, particularly about SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), through the development of competence, employability, and future-ready graduates.
