Abstract
This study investigated the significant
differences in professional competencies, work ethics, and job placements among
graduate batch groups of the BS Electronics Technology, University of Science
and Technology of Southern Philippines. Using statistical tests, including
Chi-Square and Kruskal-Wallis analysis, the study examines respondents’ ratings
on various skill sets, work ethics parameters, and job descriptions. The
results revealed that the null hypothesis of no difference was rejected for
most parameters, indicating statistically significant variations in
interpersonal skills, mathematical skills, character, communication, and other
core competencies across batches. Notably, the Chi-Square test showed a
significant association between batch groups and the Instrumentation Technician
job description (p=.001), highlighting differential employment outcomes in this
role. Consistently high mean ratings above 4.0 across most work ethics and
graduate attributes parameters, many with zero standard deviations, demonstrate
a strong, uniform perception of positive professional qualities among
graduates. An outlier was observed in innovative thinking skills, with a lower
mean rating of 3.67, suggesting areas for growth. The findings underscore the
dynamic development of graduate competencies and the relevance of tailored
academic and workplace interventions. These alternatives emphasize the need to
focus on both strengths and specific areas, such as innovation to enhance
graduate readiness and employability. The study contributes important insights
into graduate performance variation and the factors influencing employment
trajectories in diverse industrial settings.
