Influence of Limians’ Education on College and Career Success: A Tracer study of Senior High School Graduates at Camp Vicente Lim Integrated School

Abstract

This study examined the influence of Camp Vicente Lim Integrated School’s (CVLIS) Senior High School program on the academic and professional outcomes of its graduates. Using a tracer study methodology and descriptive research design, data were collected through an online structured survey from graduates of the 2018 and 2019 batches. The survey assessed graduates’ satisfaction with school programs and services, the skills acquired during senior high school, and their preparedness for college and employment. Results showed that while some graduates pursued vocational training or entered the workforce, the majority continued their education in college. Findings highlighted that the CVLIS program significantly contributed to the development of essential skills, including communication, problem-solving, critical thinking, information literacy, and values formation that proved beneficial in both academic and professional contexts. Overall, the study concluded that CVLIS education enhanced graduates’ readiness for higher education and career opportunities. These insights may inform curriculum improvements and provide guidance for future CVLIS students.
