This study examined employers’ feedback on the workplace performance and attitudes of Bachelor of Elementary Education (BEED) graduates of Iloilo Science and Technology University–Miagao Campus as a basis for programme enhancement. Anchored in the Theory of Performance, the study assessed graduates’ competencies in workplace standards, speaking and written communication, teamwork, time management, initiative/resourcefulness, interpersonal skills, adaptability, ability to work with less supervision, and creativity, together with professional attitudes. A descriptive research design was employed, using a researcher-made questionnaire administered to employers or immediate supervisors of BEED graduates. Data were analysed using frequency, mean, and standard deviation. Employers rated the graduates’ overall competency as outstanding (M = 4.53, SD = 0.591) and their overall attitude as outstanding (M = 4.57, SD = 0.681). Creativity and alternative thinking received the highest competency rating (M = 4.71, SD = 0.550), while practising honesty and good interpersonal skills and being systematic in completing tasks received the highest attitude ratings (M = 4.67, SD = 0.565). The findings indicate favourable employer assessments of the graduates’ workplace competencies and professional attitudes within the study context. The study supports sustaining effective pedagogical practices, strengthening workplace simulations, maintaining continuous employer feedback, promoting faculty professional development, and expanding employment-sector partnerships to inform syllabus enhancement and graduate preparation.
