Employability is one of the indicators on the relevance of program offerings in higher education institutions. It measures the marketability of graduates in any program. If graduates cannot land a job based on the course and specialization taken in college that means the graduates are not employable. This article shows how employable are the graduates of BSE & BEE programs of the University of Rizal System Antipolo City from School Year 2003-2004 to 2012-2013. Results showed that the BSE and BEE graduates are employed in public schools. The knowledge and skills they acquired in college such as communication, human relations, information technology problem solving and critical thinking are very useful and the different areas such as general, professional education and specialization subjects of the programs are useful to the works of the graduates.
