ix, 110 leaves This tracer study assesses the employability of Bachelor of Arts in Political Science (BAPOS) graduates from J.H. Cerilles State College (JHSC) from the academic years 2019-2020, 2021-2022 and 2022-2023. Utilizing a quantitative descriptive research design, the study analyzes graduates' employment status, job search methods, time to employment, and initial monthly income. Findings reveal that while a majority of BAPOS graduates are employed, a significant portion face challenges. These challenges include lower-than-expected salaries, limited job opportunities aligning with their degree, and a perceived lack of sufficient work experience. The study highlights the importance of personal connections and networking in securing employment. While BAPOS graduates demonstrate employability, the research underscores the need for improvements. These include enhanced career support services, curriculum revisions to better align with evolving job market demands, and increased emphasis on practical skills development to enhance graduates' competitiveness. The study's implications extend to curriculum reform, career services enhancement, and the development of stronger industry linkages. Arnel G. Bolivar, Jerio Hatad, Jevan C. Millavelez and Fernan R.
