This study employed a cross-sectional retrospective
research design to determine the employability of the N=63 TVL graduates of
Hinaplanon National High School from 2022-2023. The Statistical Package for the
Social Sciences version 20 (SPSS) software was used to analyze the data.
Moreover, reliability analysis was conducted to ensure the consistency and
accuracy of the data, and descriptive statistics was also utilized
to summarize and organize the data in frequency, percentage, and mean to
describe the phenomenon of employment of the graduates. The findings revealed
that in terms of employment status, 21% were employed, and 79% were unemployed
after graduation because of the following reasons: 41% enrolled in college, 13%
were a family concern, 18% had no job opportunity, 2% did not look for a job;
and the remaining 6% were noted as other reasons. As to the graduates’ status
of employability in terms of present occupation, 3% are employed as
housekeepers, 5% as admin clerks, 5% as cashiers, 3% as salesladies, and 5% are
construction workers. Regarding employment status, 6% of all employed hold
temporary jobs, 6% of all graduates have regular employment, 2% are casual
workers, 2% have contractual jobs, and 5% are self-employed. As to the period
of employment, the majority of the graduates are currently working more than 1
month, only 8% are newly hired employees, and lastly, 3% of all graduates are
working beyond 6 months. For the gross monthly income, 5% of all graduates earn
P5,000 below, and only 3% earn P5,000 above. The study also sought to determine
the percentage of alignment of senior high school strands with employment.
Results showed that 9% of the respondents who sought employment are aligned
with the strands they took in senior high school. These skills include
preparing cooked and hot meals (3%), cold meals (6%), and desserts/sweets (5%).
Notably, preparing cold meals was graduates' most frequently applied skill. The
study made recommendations based on the findings highly suggested to the
Department of Education, Stakeholders, Senior High School Administrators, Hinaplanon National
High School, and Teachers to enhance the employability of senior high school
TVL track graduates.
