INTRODUCTION
The course of Criminology or Criminal Justice Education is a four (4) year course or
bachelor degree program to those who want to have a profession in the field of Law enforcement,
crime detection, investigation, juvenile justice administration and correction administration. The
leadership, responsibility, and sincerity of the graduates can exploits in serving the people,
Education is the most essential asset of every individual. The survival of economic
stability is dependent to the quality of educated people to have a better human resources and
economic development that can have greater chances of changing the economic development.
Education is process into individual to help them to more productive, liberate people from
ignorance, and poverty. The maintaining curriculum of BSIT of CSPC was producing graduates
than can compete confidently into local or international. Having educational attainment can help
the social problem like unemployment (Balingbing, 2014). According to (Aquino, Estelito J.
2015) explained the tracers study to enable to know the result of education assessment and the
institution training to examine and evaluate the current carrier or employment of the graduates.
The result of the survey helps to improve the program to produce more competent and qualified
Our economy was ever-changing and the labor market was highly competitive, the
educational system school in the Philippines is being challenged to produce educated graduates to
guarantee the continuity of the country’s development. It seems the higher education was lacking:
there are many graduates that qualify for the profession or carrier but insufficiency of graduates
with qualification or related skills. All universities preserve the name of the school or maintaining
the quality of education given to students improve themselves or prepare them to transition of job
in the future. The institution give the effort to provide the needs of the student with quality
education such as providing facilities and instructional materials as well as improving learning
experiences and the environment to ensure that the graduates was acquired the standard
competencies that will prepare them to meet the challenges in their chosen profession And also
the financial problem to support the individual in the needs of student but the government was
aware in this fact and they consider implementing a free education. We have a free higher
education act which is Republic Act (RA) No. 10931, otherwise known as the Universal Access
to Quality Tertiary Education Act is “an act promoting universal access to quality tertiary
education by providing free tuition and other school fees in State Universities and Colleges,
the Tertiary Education Subsidy and Student Loan Program, strengthening the Unified Student
Financial Assistance System for Tertiary Education, and appropriating fund therefore,” as stated
in the title of the Law. Signed by the President Rodrigo Duterte on 03 August 2017 (UniFAST).
Where all the Filipino can have a quality education in public or private university, student who
within the labor market to discover the potential through sustainable employment (Hillage &
Pollard, 1999). In the study of (WEST, 2000) the objective of higher education and
employability, is to train the employability skills that prepared by the higher education into the
offered courses for the career or profession which examined and critically evaluate of institution.
In the times come when finding the job getting tougher due to the increasing demand of employer
and number of growing competent job seekers. The employability is one of the controversial
issues due to the profession or qualification that not reach during the higher education.
In other words, the higher education in the Philippines was failed to prepare and train the
graduates for the qualification of the employers which expecting a development through
education. Philippines is a developing country in Asia that facing the high unemployment rate
and underemployment rates. In the report from ((Sgd.) DENNIS S. MAPA, 2020) Stated the
unemployment rate increase to 10.0 July 2020 from 5.4 percent that caused by the pandemic. The
unemployed people was increased from 2.13 thousand to 4.57 million, while the number of
employed dropped by 1.21 thousand to 41.31 million. The labor of force participation rate was
61.9 from 62.1 the prior year. The employed workers in the service's total were 48.2 percent,
followed by agriculture (32.5 percent) and industry (19.3 percent) in the Philippines.
established in 2012 on Brgy Hondagua Lopez Quezon which is a public university, the first batch
of criminology has encountered a lack of facilities and laboratories yet some of them were a
successful person today or they make their self be a law enforcer or government employee
serving public citizen. The situation is such concern of the unemployed graduates that are not
sufficient to reduce unemployment because of population growth and increasing labor force
participation. Having higher economic growth and moderation in producing quality graduates can
reduce unemployment.
The tracer study will determine the strength and weakness of the program, activities to
enhance the learning method of the student, and to know the relevance of instructions and the
strategy of faculty and the result of the study will help to improve the program. The researchers
conclude that the graduate tracers’ study provides a good relationship between the graduates. The
researchers create a graduate tracer system of Criminology students on LSPU-LSC. The graduate
survey will provide the experience about the whereabouts of graduates, which can help to
specification among administrators, faculty, and students. The study aims are to trace the batch of
criminology graduates in the year 2016-2017 to know the employment history after graduation, to
know what programs help them to be competent, effective, and efficient in their current
occupation. The researchers want to know the following question: The demographic profile of the
respondents? The reason why unemployed? And If the skills learned was relevant to their job?.
The result of the study will apply to the student who still studying at the University of LSPU –
LSC that can improve the degree program of criminology and also other courses.
