Abstract

In response to the challenge to produce quality graduates for better employment, this study regarding the employability of education graduates from 2013-2016 was conducted. The descriptive method of research was employed. Data were gathered through interview of former education graduates, use of technologies such as e-mail, messenger, FB and the likes to come up with attribute data presented in terms of frequency counts and percentage. T-test was used to analyse the significant difference in the employment of graduates between the public and private schools. Complete enumeration of education graduates, both in the secondary and elementary levels, was done. The study revealed that 86.1% of the BSEd graduates and 83.3% of the BEEd graduates were employed in teaching-related careers; there are more graduates employed in public schools than those employed in private schools for both BSEd and BEEd; however,  these variations do not differ significantly for both BSEd and BEEd graduates, Almost all of the education graduates were employed in schools in the different municipalities of Cavite, a great percentage of which were located in Naic and other adjacent towns, and three of the graduates were recorded to be employed abroad. It is recommended that the pre-service teachers be deployed in both public and private schools during their student teaching in order to give them the opportunity for immersion in both environments.
