Graduate employability serves as a key indicator of the effectiveness and relevance of higher education programs in preparing students for the demands of the labor market. This study tracked the employment outcomes and assessed the employability of Bachelor of Public Administration (BPA) graduates from Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University – Mid La Union Campus for the Academic Year 2023–2024. Using a descriptive-quantitative research design, data were gathered from all 96 graduates through a modified CHED Graduate Tracer Survey administered via online and face-to-face methods. Statistical tools such as frequency, percentage, and multiple linear regression were utilized in the analysis of data. The Employability Index was computed based on lead time to first employment, employment status in the first job, suitability of educational qualification to the first job, and initial gross monthly income. Results revealed that 86.46% of the graduates were employed after graduation, indicating a high level of employability. Most graduates initially occupied clerical and service-related positions, with a larger proportion employed in the private sector compared to the government sector. Salaries and benefits were identified as the primary reason for accepting their first job. The computed Employability Index showed that graduates demonstrated moderate to high employability. However, regression analysis revealed that socio-demographic, educational, and socioeconomic factors had no significant relationship with employability at the 0.05 level, suggesting that employment outcomes may be influenced more by prevailing labor market conditions than by personal background characteristics.
