ABSTRACT

The BSE and BEED graduates of URS Angono from batch 2009 -

2013 were surveyed to determine their employment status. Descriptive survey

method was utilized in the study using a questionnaire adapted from the CHED’s

Graduate Tracer Study (GTS). Interview was also used in data gathering.

Findings of the study revealed that majority of the graduates are BSE major in

English. The graduates are presently employed in private schools as contractual

employees and have passed the Licensure Examination for Teachers. The

BEED graduates had the highest percentage of LET passers that helped them

gain employment in DepEd schools as permanent employees. Communication,

human relation and critical thinking skills and the different subject areas in the

curriculum are perceived by the graduates as very useful in fulfilling their job as

teachers. The graduates are employed as teachers 1- 6 months after graduation

and that their QPA is not a predictor to easily land a job.
