Introduction

Education would be so much more effective if its purpose were to ensure that by the time they leave school, every boy and girl should know how much they dont know, and be imbued with a lifelong desire to know it. Sir William Haley

Every man dreams, many aspire to become rich, to become famous or even be a business tycoon themselves. Choosing a career is one of the crucial things that a student has to decide. So school experience must have a big impact in a childs life. Education is the most important mechanism for the empowerment of people for their socioeconomic, political, and technological development. As students graduate from college, most of them believe that it is the diploma which is the only key to employment. The January 2010 estimated figures from the National Statistics Office (2010) showed the Philippines employment rate at 92.7%, unemployment rate at 7.3%, and underemployment rate at 19.7 %. With the new batch of graduates this year, these figures will surely change either for the better or for the worse. The figures are dependent on the kind of opportunities the new graduates have in relation to their fields. Boaduo (2009) explained that education is the most important mechanism for the empowerment of people for their socioeconomic, political and technological development. It is for this reason that graduates should have the necessary knowledge and skills afforded to them by their respective educational institutions to make them competitive and eventually excel in their fields.

Background of the Study An educational system isnt worth a great deal if it teaches young people how to make a living but doesnt teach them how to make a life.

The Polytechnic University of the Philippines College of Education (formerly the College of Office Administration and Business Teacher Education) is the oldest college of the Polytechnic University of the Philippines dating back to the birth of the Manila Business School in 1904. As such, the College has a proud history of providing students with outstanding educational opportunities and developing exceptional educational leaders.

When the College took a new name in November 2009, it started to concentrate on creative ways to develop a stronger and more responsive College of Education. The College of Education endeavors to promote a values-laden educational philosophy, a philosophy that is based on valuing not only the self and others but also the environment.

The tracer study on the graduates of BBTE seeks to determine the status of graduates within four to six months following their graduation, and is deemed pertinent as a way of gauging graduates capability of securing employment. It is also a means of appraising graduates satisfaction level, encompassing various experiences throughout their studies in BBTE. Findings from the study can be used as input to enhance the effectiveness of BBTEs academic program and administrative system.

The researchers are conducting this study to trace the BBTE graduates to know the demographic profile of the employment of the respondents.
