Abstract: One of the main objectives of St. Dominic College of Asia (SDCA) is to equip students to become professionals who are competent, productive, and socially responsible. It is to ensure the graduates and incoming students of this institution can adjust to changes in the sector. This study aimed to focus on the employability of graduates from St. Dominic College of Asia from the years 2014 to 2021. A descriptive research design was used to analyze a sample population of 211 graduates of the different programs. The author used an Alumni Tracer Study Questionnaire to determine the employability of the alumni members. Results showed that the majority of the graduates are employed even during this time of pandemic, while those who are unemployed are due to family concerns. Most were likely to have found their jobs recently, while the others most likely stayed with their current employers since the start of the pandemic. The researcher suggested that graduating students must be given enough training and experience to adapt to the current changes in the industry, particularly in the rise of using technology and applications due to work-from-home setups.
