The study utilized a quantitative, non-experimental research design and the correlational technique. A total of 250 randomly selected fourth-year College students taking up hospitality programs from five identified HEIs in Davao City were surveyed using a contextualized questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the mean, Pearson’s r and regression. Results showed that the career preparedness and employability skills of the respondents are at a high level suggesting that the measures of both variables are often manifested.
