Abstract
This tracer study measures the BSIT graduatesemployment outcomes and professional experiences from Northern Iloilo State University (NISU) Batad Campus from 2019 to 2023. This shows a negative trend in the employment level that significantly decreased from 100% in 2020 to 65.38% in 2023-a telling possibility of some problems inside the job market or competition. Mostly, graduates are in contract or temporary employment, although the 2023 report indicates a minimal increase in permanent employment. Generally, the two factors influencing employment choice are those closest to home and pay. In 2023, graduates thought that more importance should be given to pay. The following are highly relevant to the graduatescurrent work: communication, human relations, IT skills, and critical thinking. Improved labor market conditions and better preparation among graduates can be different time lags in finding the first job for the graduates, more so in the latest cohorts. Enhanced findings will raise the nexus between education and labor market outcomes; hence, the curricula should be changed constantly according to the requirements of the industries. Future research should involve long-term career trajectories and barriers that face unemployed graduates.
