The goal of the study was to obtain employers' feedback on the performance of graduates of Cavite State University Naic BSED from batch 2007 to 2017 on the performance attributes of graduates in nine specific areas, such as English language skills, numerical skills , information technology literacy, analytical and problem-solving skills , job attitude, inter-personal skills and technical skills required for the job. The researcher used detailed analysis methods using immediate supervisors of employers and department heads of working graduates as main informants of the sample. Results showed that BSED graduates always exceeds the required standards given by the employers. They exemplified commendable performance in their work attitudes, information technology literacy and interpersonal skills as shown in the composite mean as the top 3 performance attributes among the graduates. Employers agreed that most of the areas under survey were highly important in the delivery of their services, functions and responsibilities. Moreover, the areas on management skills, English proficiency and numerical competency ranked least among the attributes thus, recommended for further enhancement for continuous development of highly competent and globally competitive graduates.
