    ABSTRACT

    This tracer study was conducted to gather relevant information as to the employment of

    CPU College o f Agriculture graduates from 1995 to 2005. Data were collected through a

    self-administered questionnaire among 110 out of the 263 (41.8%) graduates of the CPU

    College o f Agriculture from 1995 to 2005. The survey revealed that the respondents of the

    study were generally married, males, 26 to 35 years of age, and from municipalities in the

    province o f Iloilo. They were generally graduates of the BS in Agriculture program with

    Animal Science as major. Only seven out of the 110 graduated with honors. Most of the

    respondents were paying students but a good proportion of them were scholars. The

    respondents took their respective courses primarily due to the influence of their parents or

    relatives, prospect for immediate employment and strong passion for the profession while

    their top three reasons for taking their courses at the CPU College of Agriculture included

    the quality o f graduates as seen from its alumni, known standard of instruction and

    performance o f its graduates in the field. Most of them have passed the Professional

    Regulations Commission (PRC) examination in their respective fields and the majority of

    the respondents have not attended any training and advanced studies. The respondents are

    generally employed and have permanent or regular employment status. Their occupations

    are very varied, but most of these jobs are directly related to agriculture. Their major
    viii

    employers are National Government Agencies (i.e. Department o f Agriculture), Local

    Government Units and private companies. Only more than one fourth o f the respondents

    claimed that their present job is their first job after college o f which the majority o f them

    find their college course to be related. The majority o f the respondents reported that they

    have already changed their job after mostly staying on their first job for not more than six

    m onths because o f salaries and benefits, career challenge and relationship to special skills.

    The respondents landed on their first job through recommendations, or as walk-in applicant

    and through information from friends, generally, within six months after graduation but their

    initial monthly gross income is generally below P 10,000. Generally, the respondents were

    able to occupy professional/ technical/ supervisory position in their first and present job.

    They believed that their college curriculum is relevant to their job, particularly learned

    com petencies which included technical skills, human relations skills, com m unication skills

    and information technology skills. The respondents, generally, did not m ake any

    suggestions to improve the curriculum and the program o f the college. They generally give

    high ratings to the significance o f the different college program components to their

    professional life, with farm practice having the highest and laboratory having the lowest

    rating. They also give high satisfaction ratings to the different areas o f the College program,

    with the library having the highest and laboratory having the lowest rating.
