Employers’ Feedback Of Bachelor Of Industrial Technology Graduates Of Guimaras State College

Abstract

This study examined employers’ feedback on the performance of Bachelor of Industrial Technology (BIT) graduates of Guimaras State College from 2017 to 2018. Specifically, it determined the degree to which graduates demonstrated key performance attributes in the workplace and identified the attributes most valued by employers. A descriptive research design
was employed, involving 85 employed BIT graduates and their respective supervisors. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using frequency, percentage, ranking, and weighted mean. Findings revealed that graduates were predominantly male, with Automotive Technology as the most common specialization. Employers rated graduates’ overall performance as commendable, particularly in terms of attitude, teamwork, and responsiveness to supervision.
However, lower ratings were observed in technical competencies such as troubleshooting, planning, and application of trade skills. These results indicate that while graduates possess strong work ethic and interpersonal skills, there is a need to strengthen practical, industry-based competencies.
The study underscores the importance of aligning curriculum with industry expectations and  enhancing experiential learning to improve graduate performance and employability.
