Abstract:

This study aimed to assess the level of awareness among recent gradu-ates of Northern Mindanao State College (NMSC) and Tangub City Global College (TCGC) towards the services offered by the Public Employment Service Office (PESO) of Tangub City. Specifically, the study investigates awareness of referral and placement, labor market information, em-ployment coaching, and job fair programs. A quantitative research de-sign was employed, utilizing a modified questionnaire administered to 466 recent graduates selected through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, particularly weighted mean. The findings revealed that while the respondents were aware of PESO's re-ferral and placement, employment coaching and career counseling, and job fair services, their awareness of labor market information was rela-tively low. These insights highlight the need for PESO to enhance its in-formation dissemination strategies to improve understanding, particu-larly regarding labor market trends and opportunities.
