Abstract
This survey-correlational study aimed to determine employability skills, career assessment, and work performance among hospitality graduates. The study utilized 51 randomly selected hospitality graduates of Iloilo State College of Fisheries, main campus. Simple random sampling was employed in the selection of the participants. The investigation used three (3) published data-gathering instruments to obtain the data for the study, the Employability Skills Assessment Questionnaire by the Conference Board of Canada (2016), the Career Factor Experience Questionnaire for Hospitality Management Graduates by Brown (2011), and the Employee Performance Evaluation by the University of California (2010). The data were analyzed using rank, mean, frequency count, percentage analysis, standard deviation, t-test, and Pearson's r. The .05 level of significance was used in the inferential analysis. The study's findings revealed that the most dominantly manifested employability skills among hospitality graduates were learning skills. They had high career preferences and outstanding work performance. Significant differences existed in their employability skills when they were classified according to industry employment. However, no significant differences were noted when classified according to sex, age, civil status, course graduated, job status, and industry experience.
