ABSTRACT:
This study’s focus is to determine if the STEM strand has a high success rate in employability for their graduates, whether if majority of them has successfully gained a
career or if other strands have a much higher success rate for their graduates. The participants involved were all either college students or fresh graduates from a variety of
strands, all being students from the K-12 education program. The research study followed a mixed-method format by sending an online questionnaire to each of the respondents
meant to gather quantitative data which included personal questions about why they genuinely made their decisions regarding their strand of choice and how it has affected
them. Based on the final results of the questionnaire answered by 43 senior high school graduates, many of the respondents have shared that they have been successful at finding
employment after enrolling and finishing in the STEM strand. After careful consideration, the researchers conclude that graduates from the STEM strand mostly chose to continue
pursuing their college education; therefore, leading to low employability for SHS STEM strand graduates.
