 Abstract

In this study, an attempt has been made to estimate the incidences of career mismatch and

know the factors that can lead to such, which is one of the problems encountered by the BS

Tourism Management graduates. This study covers the profile of the graduates and their

employment status. This also determines the reasons why these graduates are employed in a career

far from the degree they finished. In line with this, the researchers used descriptive method of

research design. Results showed that the majority of the BS Tourism Management graduates are

female, single and gainfully employed and are currently working within the country and they land

at their first job which is related to the course in a span of 13 months above. Additionally, the top

perceived factor of the graduates on career mismatch was there is no interest of getting the job.

And lastly, a proposed plan of action was formulated to address the career mismatch of BSMT

graduates.
