SUMMARY, CONCLUSION
AND RECOMMENDATION
 SUMMARY
The factors affecting the employability of the CMU-SHS
STEM graduates 18-20 years old include age,
education, experience, employability skills and
qualifications. Land Transportation Office and Human
Resource Management Office offer employments for
the graduates particularly low-position jobs such as
utility, clerical works, information, communication and
technology (ICT), driving and road-keeping.
 CONCLUSION
Based on the results, the hypothesis is accepted.

CMU-SHS STEM graduates 18-20 years old have

small opportunities in the labor market specifically
in the government agencies in Valencia City but
still capable of being employed.
 RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that…
 further studies may be carried out on students from other colleges
and faculties to see whether there are any similarities in the
findings.
 future research could also explore the difference between broader
or larger companies inside and outside Valencia City in order to
gather larger amount of data regarding the employability
preferences of the involved institutions.
 business employers would be interviewed for a better comparison
of results.
