ABSTRACT
This study determined and traced of Employability Status of Teacher
Education Major in Content Course Graduates of URS Angono Campus,
Academic Year 2019 – 2020. This study also examined the changes in the
career pattern of the graduates to serve as basis on evaluation of the College of
Education program of University of Rizal System Angono Campus. The
respondents were nine (9) male and eleven (11) female BEED teacher education
graduates which covered the twenty (20) or one hundred (100) percent of the
total number of BEED teacher education graduates in University of Rizal System
Angono during the academic year 2019 – 2020.This study used the descriptive
method of research utilizing survey questionnaire in gathering the data needed.
The instrument was created digitally through google forms, distributed the
generated link to collect the necessary data. The questionnaire was composed of
four (4) parts including the profile of the respondents, the factors that affects the
respondents’ job choice, the problems encountered by the respondents in their
employment, and the coping mechanism of the respondents to overcome the
encountered problems in their employment. The following findings were
summarized based on the analysis and interpretation of data: on the profile of the
respondents who are BEED Content Course Major graduates, most of them were
female, single, Catholic and twenty-four (24) years old; all of the respondents
have no honors received, non-working during their tertiary level, and their
bachelor’s degree as the highest educational attainment; ten (10) out of twenty
(20) respondents have taken and passed the Licensure Examination for
Teachers once, five of them taken twice and also passed from September 2019
to September 2022. Five (5) of them did not take the examination and one
respondent took the TESDA assessment focused on Bread and Pastry
Production; most of the respondents have contractual job with at most one-year
experience in teaching in their previous employment with the basic salary
amounting of 10,000 -15,000 before jumping up into another career with the
reasons of career challenged, salaries/benefits issue and stressed out, other
reasons are special skills, and proximity to residence; most of the respondents
are currently employed as contractual for 1 – 2 years and only one of them was
working for 4 years, most of them have teaching positions with salary of 10, 000
and below and accepted because of their occupational skills; most of them have
pre-employment experience and the main reason for unemployment is family
concern;Relation with others is the indicated problem encountered by most of the
respondents in their employment and to adjust to the problem, they keep on
observing the behavior of other people they work with. This coping mechanism
helped them so much to be good subordinates but not to the point that they
compromise their own beliefs. They stood up for what is true and spoke
honorably and they socialized by attending some occasions helping them to have
a tighter bond that resulted in a harmonious relationship with other teachers
inside the institution. The researchers have identified from the respondents that
the school continues to create more partnerships to public and private sectors led
by students for more exposure to help them build confidence during job hunting.
