| Abstract | This study investigates the graduate outcomes and employability of Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BSIT) alumni from J.H. Cerilles State College, Main Campus, spanning cohorts from 2019 to 2024. Anchored on the Human Capital Theory, Employability Framework, and CareerEDGE Model, it evaluates how effectively the BSIT program achieves its Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) through employment status, entrepreneurial engagement, employer feedback, and professional recognition. Using a descriptive quantitative design and tracer methodology, data were collected from alumni and employers via structured surveys. Findings reveal that 85.4% of graduates attained PEOs, with 75.9% employed full-time and 8.2% engaged in entrepreneurship. Employer evaluations rated graduates “Very Satisfactory,” highlighting strengths in ethics and collaboration, but noting areas for improvement in time management and technical depth. Additionally, 20% of alumni received formal awards, and 68.2% reported notable contributions in the IT field. These outcomes affirm the BSIT program’s effectiveness in producing globally competitive professionals, while also identifying gaps in innovation and leadership readiness. The study recommends enhancing curriculum through project-based learning, ethical computing modules, and stronger industry linkages to further align academic preparation with labor market demands. |
