Much of the graduates have been working as OFW, as noted in the outcome, perhaps
the cause is that they see overseas employees as an easier way to get paid higher salaries
and can save their own company for later purposes. And next arrives as the agent of the
BPO/call center, tempting them with big salaries, rights, and advantages it provides. Many

that operate their own enterprises, such as small-scale firms, followed. According to [6],
the opportunity for future studies based on entrepreneurship as a career option was
outlined in their latest research. As indicated by [5]-[19], there is a lack of study on the
quality of employment created by enterprising companies, and a deeper understanding of
the type and quality of the jobs generated by enterprising companies should be of great
importance to policymakers who want to promote job growth by encouraging venture
capital [23].

Eligibilities. The results show the excellence of alumni in the matter of their ability
to hurdle government assessments. However, figure 1 depicts that 52 or (69.24%) of the
graduates have not taken any eligibility examinations. In comparison, 13 or (19.43%) of
the graduates have passed the examinations that qualify them for first-level positions in the

government such as clerical and administrative work. The rest of the respondents, four or
(11.33%), have passed the examinations that qualify them for both first level and second
level positions in the government such as technical positions.

The graduate of the B.S. Entrepreneurship does not need them to take career
eligibilities since their pathway leads to managing their own business. However, these
eligibilities can be considered a plus factor if one passed them. The passers of the
professional career examination (C.S. Prof/C.S. Non- Prof) typically land a job in the

industry. However, as reflected in the research undertaken [17], job experience (2018) is
described as the most significant consideration in hiring. As a recruitment factor, market
and employability capabilities have grown in value.
Income. The income accrued to the respondents reflects their position in their
workplace. Figure 1 depicts the income earned by the respondents.

About 20 of the employed alumni or 38.8% receive salaries ranging from Php
25,000- 29,990/ monthly salary. 17 or (24.60%) earn at least Php 30,000 per month. The
results also show that 16, and 8 or (23.20%) and (11.60%) received salary between Php
20,000-24,999 and Php 10,000- 19,999 respectively.

Most of those who are OFWs and those working with BPOs receive more than Php
30,000. On the other hand, those self-employed are in the salary bracket of Php 20,000 and
the rest in the bracket of Php 10,000-14,999. Therefore, the computed mean monthly
income is Php 22,173.90.
