Predicting the Employability of Senior High School Graduates in Davao del Norte

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to predict the employability of senior high school graduates in S.Y. 2018-2019 in Davao del Norte Division employing quantitative study design, descriptive-status, and predictive methodologies among the given characteristics, including gender, school type, academics, academic award recipient, skills, values, and strand. The study's respondents were the 33 secondary schools offering senior high school programs found by simple random sampling, resulting in 1,530 cases of secondary data from graduates that were evaluated using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and binary logistic regression. According to the findings, the majority of senior high school graduates from large schools were girls. Furthermore, just around half of these graduates got any kind of academic honor in any semester. In general, the graduates performed well in academics, talents, and values. Furthermore, just around half of the graduates were unemployed. Those who were working back then were either contractual or casual employees, or part-time laborers dominated by GAS grads. Furthermore, gender and ICT strand were important predictors of employability, whereas the remaining factors did not contribute significantly to the model. The null hypothesis was rejected since the predictor coefficients in the binary logistic regression equation did not equal 0. Using the model, it was determined that TVL graduates, with the exception of ICT, had higher estimations of employability.
