This study assessed the employability of Technical – Vocational – Livelihood (TVL) Senior High School graduates in Passi National High , Poblacion Ilaya, Passi City, Iloilo, Philippines . It also examined how demographic characteristics , such as age, sex, and year graduated , influence employment outcomes. A total of 300 graduates from the school year 2021 to 2024 cohorts participated in the study. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, One – Way ANOVA, and Independent Samples t – test to determine levels o f employability and significant differences across demographic profiles. Results revealed that the majority of graduates fall under the Low Employability category, with slightly higher employability observed among older graduates (20 –21 years), female grad uates, and those who graduated earlier (2021). Significant differences were found in employability across age, sex, and year graduated, indicating that demographic factors influence workforce readiness. These findings align with both local and internationa l studies highlighting the role of maturity, work immersion experience, and soft skills in enhancing employability. The study underscores the need for enhanced career guidance, expanded work immersion opportunities, soft skills development, and continuous skills enhancement to improve employment outcomes. Strengthening partnerships with industry and community stakeholders and implementing systematic monitoring of graduate employment are also recommended to bridge the gap between technical – vocational educati on and labor market demands.
