Vivian B. Flores
Abstract
This study aims to determine the employability of the Alternative Learning System passers in the labor market. Using the Parson job-fit- theory, the research seeks to solve three issues: (1) Match the core competencies of the ALS Program with Hixson, Ravitz and Whisman (2012) Eight Skills in the 21st Century that every student must possess in their job: (2) determine the relationship of the ALS Passers’ acquired learning skills competencies with the demand of the labor market. Out of the 102 ALS A&E passers in 2017, only 23 respondents are covered. Sampling method is through purposive method because the researcher aims to take control in the collection of data and gathering of evidences. The research designed is descriptive, where both qualitative and quantitative are used. Aside from the documentary analysis, questionnaires, and interview are used for triangulations of data. Utilizing the arithmetic means, results are presented through tables, showing the weighted value, average weighed mean, frequencies and percentages. The findings revealed that the ALS A &E passers’ skills competencies match the Ravitz, and Whisman (2012) Eight skills in the 21st Century that every student must possess in their Job. This indicates that the ALS A&E passers have an equally skills competencies with the Eight skills in the 21st Century that every student must possess. This means they can confidently compete with the formal education achievers in terms of their competencies. On the other hand, the acquired skills competencies of the ALS passers are significantly based on the survey questionnaire which has resulted to a greater weighted value mean as compared to the average weighted mean of 4.16 though some items appeared to be different can be attributed to some factors which may be resolved by conducting further research. All null hypothesis is rejected, hence, though income may appear very low, however, there are some changes that earning could soar upon a formal completion of a higher degree
