ABSTRACT: This
study investigated employability and explored the 21st-century skills of 142 Bachelor of Elementary and Secondary Education
alumni of Wesleyan University
Philippines. The survey found out that respondents were largely females,
batch 2014, Bachelor of Elementary Education degrees, working in public institutions,
and were permanent. As to present occupation and place of work, most of them
are teachers and working in the country. In terms of length of experience and
monthly salary, the majority of the respondents were new in their work and earning less than P20,000 a month.
The respondents were hired in their
current profession because of the repute of the college where they graduated
from and their scholastic level. The highly relevant 21st-century abilities in their current profession are interpersonal
and collaborative, communication, and problem-solving. Because of the
excellent accreditation status and quality education of the University, the
respondents feel proud that they were its graduates.
