Abstract:
This study examined the role of responsibility and authority in professional success, alongside considerations for job innovation and corporate responsibility to bridge academic learning with workforce demands. This tracer study on Bachelor of Science in Business Administration graduates in Divine Word College of San Jose academic year 2018 – 2022 aimed to assess the employment outcomes, present status, and opportunities faced by 67 BSBA graduates using descriptive-correlational design and modified-adapted questionnaires. The findings of this study revealed that in terms of their present status, business graduates secure a job both in the government and private sector, perform business activities, and their competitive advantage is developed and well-established after obtaining a BSBA Degree. Moreover, the levels of opportunities faced by the BSBA graduates were not significantly affected by their demographic profile, educational background, and socio-economic profile, furthermore, it revealed that the opportunities faced in terms of career growth, security of tenure, and relationship in the work environment were significantly affected by their present status. The researchers recommend that the institution should prioritize the knowledge-bearing course for business ventures and job positions as well as promote the quality of education given in the field of business administration. The school may build good relationships with companies and businesses to expose the students to real-life corporate and business world experiences. Lastly, future researchers should focus on tracing what specific job the graduates have and seek a benefit for the community or the institution that could lead to more enrollees for more graduates in the future.
