The study was conducted to: (l) present the profile of CvSU-CAS graduates from 2001 to 2004 with respect to their employment status; (2) identify the factors affecting their employment status; and (3) formulate discriminant and logistic regression models for the employment status. The independent variables considered were age, gender, height, weight, civil status, parents' education and income, grade point average, field of specialization, number of years stayed in CVSIJ, year graduated, eligibilities and work experience.
The derived Fisher's linear discriminant functions for group were:
ho -8.789 + 2.619x Course + 3 262 XCS + 2.908 x GPA + 2.554 x FS hi - -12.120 + 3.656 x Course + 1.103 X CS + 2.173 xGPA + 3.997xFS
The discriminant functions showed that the graduates' course, civil status, GPA, and field of specialization affected their employment status
The derived logistic regression estimate was
logit (Y) 25 097 3.186 x course(AM) - 1 224 x means - 0337 x
Height + 2 729 x CS (1) + 10 269 x FS (R)
The logistic regression model showed that the course, means of application, height, civil status, and field of specialization affect the graduates' employment status.
Considering the classification rates of each model, it can be concluded that the logistic regression model was the better model representing the factors of employability since it gave a higher classification rate than the discriminant function
