Abstract: Employability is one of the most essential performance indicators for higher education institutions, and tracking graduates gives valuable information for student growth and curriculum improvement. There has been no study about the tracer and employability of the Tourism major graduates from the College of Hotel and Restaurant Management. This study embarked on the demographic profile of the graduates, their current employment, and their assessment of the skills and abilities learned from the program. This study was participated with 108 respondents who have graduated with a degree of BS Tourism and BS Ecotourism at CHARM-MSU. Respondents were chosen purposively, and distribution of questionnaire was through online platform. Questionnaire was adapted from Tertiary Education Commission of New Zealand of 2011 in collaboration with the University of Mauritus (UoM) and the University of Technology, Mauritus (UTM). Result showed that the graduates are employed in private companies and government offices. They greatly recognized the skills and abilities they have acquired from the program. The findings tell us that the program is applicable to their present job; it enabled them to become a reliable employee. However, respondents also acknowledged that there must be improvement of their exposures and advance tourism laboratories must be established.
