CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
This chapter presents the background of the study, statement of the
problem, conceptual framework, significant of the study, scope and
delimitation, and the definition of terms.
Background of the Study
Since January 2020, the Novel Coronavirus pandemic has gripped the
world. Affected by the epidemic, graduates face many uncertain and unstable
factors in employment. In the report on the work of the government for 2020,
the most frequently used word is "employment." The report calls for making
every effort to stabilize and expand employment and implementing the
working framework of ensuring stability, employment, and social security.
In Philippine industry, college education was mainly for the more
intelligent youth that could afford to attend a university. Although college
graduates can find these types of jobs sooner and more easily than those who
did not attend college, finding a job that correlates to a degree of study not
currently in-demand is difficult. Research on unemployment rates within
recent college graduates has revealed that graduates are negatively affected
by labor market demands, leading to emotional and financial instability
compared to nondegree seeking young adults. Henry (2014)
Some of the areas in Region X, after completing a degree, a transition
period begins. The student adjusts to the unsheltered life as an adult and
begins making life decisions. This kind of transition requires coping skills.
Region XII
Some graduates jump right into a career while a majority of graduates take
their time searching. Although waiting may seem like the logical thing to do,
some students wait due to fear and anxiety. These feelings, coupled with
long-term unemployment, begin to form psychological effects such as
depression, low self-esteem, and a lack of dignity (Snyder, 2013). By throwing
away personal goals, a student can graduate with a degree that is more likely
to lead to a career, albeit not guaranteed. This can lead to unhappiness in a
graduate. Due to labor market demands, a graduate is more likely to develop
emotional instability while unemployed or underemployed (Santos, 2016)
Thus, the purpose of this study is to measure the employment status of
the Tertiary Graduates of Palimbang. In which we will determine how wide
range does the graduate students have work already and whom among them
are not having jobs yet. This research is crucial to determine what shall the
strategies to provide to welfare the graduates who have potential to contribute
on nation building. Moreover, the issue about the employment is still on
process. That is why, this research wants to hear the concerns of the tertiary
graduates regarding to their employment status in Palimbang.

in line with the course completed which is the Dependent Variable. Hence, the
Intervening variable will be the Socio-demographic of the tertiary graduates in
terms of age, course completed, and school graduated.
Scope and Delimitation
This study focus only on determining the employment status of the
tertiary graduates of Palimbang Sultan Kudarat. Whereas, the college
graduates will be the respondent of the study. The research is limited only on
determining the status of tertiary students in their job especially in alignment
of course to the current job and availability of work in line with the course
completed.

CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
This chapter presented the Review of Related Literature that deals with
the different studies and literature to validate the research.
Employment Status of College Graduates during the COVID-19
Pandemic
the most frequently used word is "employment." The report calls for making
every effort to stabilize and expand employment and implementing the
working framework of ensuring stability, employment, and social security.
Although it is now in the post-2021 epidemic period, employment is still the
only overlapping and top priority of the "six Stable" and "six Guaranteed" key
work. Based on this, it is of great academic value and practical significance to
analyze the overall situation and trend of employment of college graduates
under the epidemic situation to find the problems faced by college graduates,
explore the new mode of employment of college graduates under the
epidemic situation and finally put forward policies and measures to promote
employment (Realo, 2021).
COVID-19 has created a grim employment situation. Cai (2020)
pointed out that the epidemic has a negative impact on the quantity and
quality of employment in China. Li et al. (2020) believe that the subjective

Region XII
factors of unemployed graduates and the objective epidemic situation jointly
exacerbate the difficulty of employment, and the problems of unemployed
rural graduates seeking jobs need to be solved urgently. Further, the
researchers proposed measures. Lian (2020) believes that the government
should change the concept of employment promotion, strive to do a good job
in employment services, and encourage new and flexible employment. Zhang,
Liu and Mao (2020) believe that colleges and universities should learn about
enterprises and public institutions' employment and recruitment information
from various aspects and channels and provide timely feedback to students.
Cai (2020) believes that the new "Internet + employment" model should be
vigorously advocated, enterprises should be encouraged to cooperate with
online recruitment platforms, and the time for choosing a job should be
appropriately extended.
The Problem That University Graduate Employment Faces
Through the analysis of the employment situation and trend of college
graduates under the epidemic situation, it is found that 2021 graduates may
face the following problems.
External Economic Pressures Continue To Mount
The sudden outbreak of the epidemic has brought even greater
challenges to the smooth operation of the economy. General Secretary Xi
Jinping believes that the epidemic has a lasting impact on economic
operation, mainly reflected in the pressure on industrial enterprises, especially
SMEs, which face difficulties in production and operation while increasing the
Region XII
pressure on stable employment. The negative factors of the economic
situation have an impact on "stable employment" (Xi, 2021).
Employment and work patterns have changed dramatically
Due to the needs of epidemic prevention and control, all employment
activities, including spring campus recruitment activities and employment
guidance and assistance, can only be carried out through online platforms,
requiring timely adjustment by universities, students and employers to reduce
the impact of the epidemic on graduates' job hunting. It is expected that
college graduates in 2021 will face a more complicated and severe
employment situation under the combined effects of the economic situation,
the scale of graduates and epidemic prevention and control (Camendan,
2021).
College employment is still under pressure
In recent years, with the continuous development of information
technology, the function of the employment information systems has been
enhanced. However, affected by the epidemic, college employment is still
facing unprecedented pressure (Penino, 2022). There are three main issues
to consider.
Firstly, the function of the employment information system is not
perfect, and the preventive construction is insufficient. Before the epidemic
outbreak, employment in colleges and universities mainly relied on offline
channels, with online platforms as supplements. After the epidemic outbreak,

Region XII
graduates could not return to school due to the prevention and control
requirements, and all offline employment work, including employment
guidance, was carried out online. At this time, the problem of the lack of an
employment information system was suddenly exposed. Many colleges and
universities rushed to respond and urgently improved the functional modules
of the online platform to ensure the development of online employment.
Secondly, the tracking and mastering of graduates' job-hunting trends
have become complicated. During the epidemic prevention and control period,
in addition to the employment information platforms of universities
themselves, third-party online recruitment platforms such as Zhaopin.com and
51JOB have also stepped in. The school will no longer grasp the progress of
graduates' job hunting through on-site participation of students or a single
platform and timely carry out employment assistance and guidance.
Thirdly, some colleges and universities are not timely enough to help
graduates cope with the changing situation. The epidemic has led to an
emergency change in the form of spring recruitment, which requires
universities to carry out such work as electronic resume making quickly,
online application for job hunting, remote interview counseling and so on to
help graduates adapt to the change in the way of job hunting and reduce the
difficulty for graduates to find a job.
Personal anxiety, work and school blocked due to the epidemic
The graduate groups mainly have the following points that need to
cause attention: first, unemployed graduates in certain anxiety. Many reasons

Region XII
result in anxiety, such as the change of spring recruitment and the
postponement of the graduation project. In addition, during the epidemic
prevention and control period, graduates' internship before employment is
restricted, which affects the internship assessment of graduates and affects
the normal entry of graduates. In addition, groups of different educational
levels have their outstanding problems. For undergraduates, those most
affected are those who are uncertain about the outcome of the entrance
exam. For graduate students, the biggest impact is mainly for graduate
students who need to carry out experimental scientific research to complete
their graduate projects. The laboratory closure caused by epidemic prevention
and control stopped the subject experiments, and the graduation time could
not be determined, or the graduation had to be postponed. The anxiety
caused by isolation and control during the epidemic prevention and control
period is quite prominent among graduates from Hubei province, which
requires the active attention of the university to ensure the smooth
employment of students and avoid crisis events. Second, graduates are not
actively seeking jobs. Due to the epidemic's impact, the examination results
and reexamination arrangements for undergraduates were later than in
previous years, and the recruitment of civil servants was also delayed. This
leads to some students being at a loss, cannot actively into the spring
recruitment. The difficult situation of spring recruitment also makes the
graduates who originally hesitated to take the second postgraduate entrance
examination more determined to take the second postgraduate entrance
examination, resulting in the phenomenon of "slow employment" more

Region XII
prominent; Third, graduates' employment expectations are too high (Marayag,
2021).
Entrepreneurship and Online Employment
Intelligent manufacturing is the main direction of the manufacturing
power strategy. In recent years, there has been a shortage of talents in the
field of intelligent manufacturing. As the core talent training base of the
manufacturing industry, higher vocational education has attracted wide
attention. At present, China has more than 150 higher vocational majors
related to intelligent manufacturing, such as industrial robot technology and
intelligent control technology.
College graduates account for 54 percent of the 2021 graduates
seeking jobs in intelligent manufacturing, and more than a third of them are
looking for new first-tier cities. Nearly 60% of the students who majored in
computer science graduated, mainly in computer application technology,
computer network technology and other majors. In addition, automation
professional job seekers, electromechanical integration technology and
electrical automation technology major also occupy a high proportion (Gien,
2022).
In 2021, only about 43% of college graduates majoring in intelligent
manufacturing expect to be engaged in core positions of technology research
and development, design, production and manufacturing in relevant
enterprises, with an average expected salary of 5,980 yuan. More than 50%
of the graduates expect to enter other industries or non-major related

Region XII
occupations, and majors are brain drain. This situation is caused by students'
subjective will and is related to the market recruitment structure (Gien, 2021).
In addition, data from BOSS Zhipin Research Institute shows that in the
spring recruitment season of 2021, only 40% of the positions for fresh
graduates in intelligent manufacturing will explicitly recruit college graduates.
In the core positions of technology research and development, 70% of the
positions require a bachelor's degree or above. There is a large gap between
enterprises' requirements and the current graduate supply situation, which
has become one of the main manifestations of talent mismatch in the industry.
Therefore, the talent demand in intelligent manufacturing is growing
rapidly, and the talent supply structure and training mode need to be
optimized and reformed urgently. Accelerating the construction of a multi-level
talent training system, highlighting the teaching and practice characteristics of
different educational levels, and paying more attention to the training of
students' learning ability and basic literacy based on professional teaching are
all important means to improve the current situation of talent supply.
Application of cloud technology
According to data from Boss Zhipin Research Institute, the top five
industry categories attracting the most attention from new graduates in the
2021 spring recruitment season are modern service fields, with Internet,
electronics/communication and science and technology service industries
dominated by digital technology positions, attracting 26.7 percent of new
graduates. This shows that network employment is a new popular

Region XII
employment mode. Therefore, using cloud technology to build an employment
service system for college graduates in the epidemic era is the demand of
college students for employment service in colleges and universities. Colleges
and universities use cloud software and virtualization technology to build a
software service platform for students' employment, improve the current way
of obtaining and using software, solve graduates' job- hunting problems and
accurately recommend employment positions. Cloud technology is the most
effective tool and means to achieve accurate employment of college
graduates in the epidemic era, and it is a realistic choice to promote more
graduates to implement their jobs as soon as possible and achieve accurate
employment of graduates.
To achieve accurate employment means to match automatically and
real-time push employment and related service information for individuals
according to their job seeking intentions on the functional platform to realize
the full informatization of job seekers' employment management and
employment services. Using cloud technology to implement precise
graduates' employment is a way for enterprises and graduates to conduct
double selection in the air through the production of live broadcast, post-
broadcast video and subsequent circular push, which has huge advantages
that traditional double selection cannot have.
In the epidemic era, the traditional job-hunting mode cannot adapt to
the current situation of employment. In the job-hunting process of college
graduates, cloud technology and other new methods have become the best
Region XII
choice for both graduates and employers in the epidemic era. The application
of cloud technology has brought new ideas and methods to college students'
employment in the epidemic era. On the one hand, as a tool in the epidemic
era, cloud recruitment can run through the entire recruitment process, such as
interviews, written tests and entry, increasing the choice opportunities and
channels for supply and demand and improving efficiency. On the other hand,
as a technical tool and method, cloud technology pays more attention to the
correlation between graduates and enterprises, and graduates urgently need
this method to seek employment in the epidemic era. Using a network
broadcast, supply and demand parties can meet in the cloud and make the
double selection in the air, which helps graduates intuitively understand the
enterprise culture and employment philosophy, helps students make a better
job-hunting plan and provides solid backup candidates for the resumption of
work and production and sustainable development of enterprises.
The advantages of using Internet employment to implement precision
employment
Cloud technology brings new opportunities for college students to
achieve precise employment. First of all, an online live broadcast is a good
opportunity for both universities and employers to establish long-term
cooperative relations. It allows fresh graduates to understand the enterprise
better, and for the enterprise itself, it is an opportunity to establish a corporate
image and attract outstanding graduates. Secondly, in the live broadcast,
graduates can ask questions about salary, position and development

Region XII
opportunities to department managers and hr. directors of enterprises online
in real time and get answers online. At the same time, they can intuitively
understand the company's internal situation and get familiar with the company
environment, company culture, and business in advance. However, it is
difficult for graduates to directly enter the company to understand the internal
situation of offline recruitment. During the live broadcast activities, the
university can also actively answer questions and provide sufficient job-
hunting information for graduates to fully meet their job-hunting needs.
Employers and students can finally sign employment contracts or achieve
internship or employment intentions through cloud interconnection and
interaction (Joson, 2022).
In short, compared with the traditional job-hunting mode, it is a great
advantage to realize the cloud-based situational job hunting through online
live broadcast. At the same time, the school can also make video production,
additional follow-up publicity so that more students participate in the
recruitment activities.
Characteristics of Entrepreneurship and Employment
As far as college graduates are concerned, everyone has different
ideas about starting a business. Some people enjoy the unique spirit of
entrepreneurship, some look forward to the progress and development of
entrepreneurship, and some are eager to realize themselves through
entrepreneurship. According to statistics of Department of Labor and
Employment, the number of college graduates in 2018, 2019 and 2020

Region XII
reached 8.21 million, 8.34 million and 8.74 million, respectively. In 2021, the
number of college graduates across the country exceeded 9 million for the
first time, reaching 9.09 million, an increase of 350,000 year-on-year and
another record high. Due to the impact of COVID-19, a certain proportion of
college graduates will still be unemployed in 2020, and 9.09 million students
will have graduated in 2021, which will further intensify the competition and
make it more difficult for graduates to find jobs. In the face of such a severe
employment situation, innovation and entrepreneurship may become
important options for college graduates in the future (Palmes, 2022).
Teachers have become "anchors" during the epidemic, and the
diversified development of economic forms has brought prosperity to several
emerging professions. So, the online economy will have unlimited imagination
in the future, such as red network anchor and electioneering hand. The idea
of thousands of troops competing for one job has become quite unrealistic.
The rise of successful entrepreneurs such as Jack Ma and Ren Zhengfei is a
model for college students. Starting a business and successfully starting a
business is the path to become an entrepreneur. College students pursue
self-realization, long for affirmation, and like to be free and easy. Therefore,
choosing innovation and entrepreneurship and becoming entrepreneurs is
also a choice and direction for college graduates to find jobs during the
epidemic (Dignadice, 2022).

METHODOLOGY
This chapter presents the research design, locale of the study,
respondent of the study, sampling techniques, research instrument, research
procedures, and statistical treatment, and data analysis of the research.
Research Design
The research design that will be used in the study is Descriptive
Correlation Research Design because its purpose is to determine
employment status of the tertiary graduates of Palimbang Sultan Kudarat.
There researcher will use quantitative research to measure and examine the
employment status of the college graduates through statistical result. Thus,
the research will have 30 respondents who graduated in the year 2021-2022
from 3 different barangay of Palimbang, named Barangay Poblacion,
Barangay Badiangon, and Barangay Baranayan.
Locale of the Study
The study will be conducted at Palimbang, Sultan Kudarat especially to
the three barangay of Palimbang, Sultan Kudarat which are the Barangay
Poblacion, Barangay Badiangon, and Barangay Baranayan. The area now
covered by Palimbang was called Pula. One day, the boat of a group of
fishermen from Palimbang, Indonesia was washed ashore in Pula. Instead of
going back to Indonesia, they settled in Pula and formed a community. Soon
they became numerous and their settlement was permanently called
Palimbang. On August 14, 1959, the municipality of Palimbang was created

Region XII
through Executive Order No. 350 issued by President Carlos P. Garcia. Datu
Guiwan Mastura was appointed as the first mayor of the new town. On
November 22, 1973, Palimbang was transferred from Cotabato Province to
Province of Sultan Kudarat by presidential decree 341 signed by President
Ferdinand E. Marcos (Peoplaid, 2020).

This chapter presents the background of the study, statement of the

problem, conceptual framework, significant of the study, scope and

delimitation, and the definition of terms.

Background of the Study

every effort to stabilize and expand employment and implementing the

working framework of ensuring stability, employment, and social security.

In Philippine industry, college education was mainly for the more

intelligent youth that could afford to attend a university. Although college

currently in-demand is difficult. Research on unemployment rates within

by labor market demands, leading to emotional and financial instability

compared to nondegree seeking young adults. Henry (2014)

Some of the areas in Region X, after completing a degree, a transition

long-term unemployment, begin to form psychological effects such as

depression, low self-esteem, and a lack of dignity (Snyder, 2013). By throwing

to lead to a career, albeit not guaranteed. This can lead to unhappiness in a

graduate. Due to labor market demands, a graduate is more likely to develop

emotional instability while unemployed or underemployed (Santos, 2016)

Thus, the purpose of this study is to measure the employment status of

the Tertiary Graduates of Palimbang. In which we will determine how wide

strategies to provide to welfare the graduates who have potential to contribute

on nation building. Moreover, the issue about the employment is still on

graduates regarding to their employment status in Palimbang.

Statement of the Problem

This study generally aims to answer the employment status of the

tertiary graduates of Palimbang Sultan Kudarat. Specific questions that the

researchers aim to be answered are the following:
