Journal Title: Journal of Education and Literature - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
This study was conducted in support to the curriculum development of the Lyceum of the Philippines University (LPU) - Batangas. The findings will be used to strengthen its program offerings and ensure its relevance to the needs of the industry-partners of the university through asking their preferences of skills and values for graduates as employees. Descriptive type of research was used in the study. Findings revealed that employers have very high standards in choosing their prospective employees that the Higher Education Institutions must provide to their students like competencies in technical skills with relevant knowledge in research, communication skills, computer skills and leadership skills while entrepreneurial skills obtained the least. Work attitude and behavior of the employees are also important aspects of employment skills that should always be integrated in all curricula such as valuing commitment, loyalty, high sense of professionalism with moral integrity as well as the significance of being result-oriented, trainable and proactive individuals.
