Relevance of Technical and Vocational Education and Training in the Employability of Computer Science Graduates

Relevance of Technical and Vocational Education Training in the Employability Computer Science Graduates. Objectives: A study was conducted to determine relevance Skills Development National Certification relation employment/employability computer science graduates Eastern Samar State University, Philippines. Methods: descriptive-correlational design used data analyzed through mean, frequency percentage distribution. null hypothesis tested using Cramer’s V association method if there exist a correlation. Findings: The results showed that most were employed, significant number Certificate II (NC II) competency test passers, many considered “not being prepared” as major hindrance for not taking said exam. Conclusion: majority found NC be important securing their current job score strong correlation rejected hypothesis. Based on these findings, it is recommended efforts improve graduates’ preparation exams should continued or even intensified. Keywords: employability, technical vocational education, student Abstrak: Relevansi Pendidikan dan Pelatihan Teknik Kejuruan dalam Kemampuan Kerja Lulusan Ilmu Komputer. Tujuan: Sebuah studi dilakukan untuk menentukan relevansi Sertifikasi Nasional Teknis Pengembangan Keterampilan kaitannya dengan kemampuan kerja lulusan ilmu komputer dari Filipina. Metode: Desain deskriptif-korelasi digunakan dianalisis melalui rata-rata, frekuensi distribusi persentase. Hipotesis nol diuji menggunakan metode asosiasi Cramer's apakah ada korelasi. Temuan: Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar diterima bekerja, lulus uji kompetensi II), banyak yang menganggap “tidak siap” sebagai kendala utama tidak mengikuti ujian tersebut. Kesimpulan: Mayoritas penting mengamankan pekerjaan mereka saat ini skor Cramer korelasi kuat menolak hipotesis nol. Berdasarkan temuan tersebut, direkomendasikan agar upaya peningkatan persiapan menghadapi terus dilanjutkan atau bahkan diintensifkan. Kata kunci: kerja, pendidikan teknik vokasi, mahasiswa komputer.
