INDUSTRY PARTNERS PERCEPTIONS OF EMPLOYABILITY SKILLS AMONG AUTOMOTIVE TVL GRADUATES: A QUALITATIVE STUDY

CHARLIE V. TAYAG

Abstract

This qualitative narrative study explored the perceptions of industry partners regarding the employability skills of Automotive Technical-Vocational-Livelihood (TVL) graduates. This study employed qualitative narrative research design with ten industry partners participated and ten engaged in in-depth interviews providing both individual and collective insights. Findings revealed that while graduates demonstrate foundational technical skills, they often lack essential soft skills such as communication, teamwork, problem-solving, leadership, and adaptability under pressure. Industry partners emphasized that mentorship, real-world exposure, and sustained collaboration between schools and industry significantly enhance graduates’ readiness for the workforce. Additionally, gaps in critical thinking, time management, and practical application of knowledge were identified, highlighting the need for curricula that integrate technical proficiency with soft skills development. The study underscores the importance of aligning training programs with industry expectations through hands-on experiences, soft skills integration, and continuous school-industry partnership to produce competent and job-ready Automotive TVL graduates.
