Vol.3, No.1B

Abstract

The hospitality sector is one of the most important aspects of the tourism industry. Graduates of hotel management face an increasingly competitive and uncertain job market. Understanding the hospitality industry, its components, and where one fits in is a crucial first step toward a successful career. Everyone working in the hospitality sector must have the necessary knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values to deliver high-quality products and services that customers expect.

This study aims to gain knowledge and skills to prepare students for the future and expand the minds of those who read this study on what opportunities await and how to obtain them. The researchers conducted a descriptive research design to collect data about the effectiveness of employment opportunities for BSHM graduating students. Fifty graduating BS Hospitality Management students were selected to participate in the research study. 

The survey questionnaire prepared by the researchers was used to gather the needed data. A four-point Likert Scale was used to describe the different variables involved in the study. The researchers administered the Google Forms questionnaires to the respondents under hospitality management through Messenger, Email, and text message.

The survey showed that most of the respondents were 22 years old, and there were more females than males. Most hospitality graduating students are single, making them more responsible for completing their education. Respondents faced many problems in terms of local, foreign, and cruise ship industry work. The study also revealed that employment opportunities for BSHM graduates can lead to an improvement in hospitality services, an increase in the hospitality business industry, and an increase in the number of foreign and local visitors annually. 

The researchers recommend a change in the teaching method of professional teachers in class for the students to be more active. The implementation of the proposed solution to solve the challenges encountered may be encouraged by the administrators and professional teacher providers to improve the way of teaching and have more hands-on activities in class to enhance academic and training skills in terms of communication skills, customer service skills, and problem-solving skills.
