Abstract:

Transition from academia to the professional world can be daunting for many graduating students. They are challenged with perceptions about the difference between school and industry in addition to the uncertainty of their career paths. This study evaluates the relationship between employability, self-efficacy, and digital literacy among senior college students. A quantitative-descriptive correlation research design was used to gather relevant data from 100 conveniently selected respondents through an adapted survey questionnaire. The findings revealed a significant relationship between the three variables (p<.05), with self-efficacy having a stronger influence on employability than digital literacy. While digital literacy had a moderate influence on employability, it remains an important factor. These results are supported by Social Cognitive Theory and Human Capital Theory stating that self-efficacy is important in career development and while technological skills is crucial for job success. The results recommend that to enhance employability, Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Cotabato Province are recommended to prioritize the improvement of students' digital literacy skills by promoting information evaluation abilities, and continue fostering self-efficacy through relevant programs and interventions.
