Abstract
Davao de Oro State College aspires to give its stakeholders a golden opportunity to produce globally competent graduates grounded in good governance. The institution needs to know what career paths students can expect and what kind of guidance and development will best prepare them for life after college. The study reveals that the alumni preferred to work their first job related to their course because of the salaries and benefits, career challenges, and special skills. The graduates need more professional skills because they can benefit from nearly all job positions, industries, and work environments. Graduates are just receiving enough salary for their basic needs. They chose their course because of its availability of intense passion for the profession in the institution. However, most graduates did not pursue advanced studies because they focused more on work or severe financial commitment. Also, the study discovered that graduates lack permanent opportunities in public and private organizations. Most respondents work on a contractual or temporary basis. Indeed, this study recommended that the institution provide more facilities, resources, holistic development, and personal and professional development, such as webinars, training, and workshops for better instructions, and hire more teachers with highly competitive and diverse qualifications. Moreover, the curriculum must be reviewed and updated to fulfill the recent graduates’ required skills and competencies.
