Summary: This study centered on how the demands of the job market conform to the career preparedness of 4th-year Home Economics (HE) students under the TVL track in Cuenca Municipality. The results revealed that the HE curriculum imparts certain skill sets such as food safety, creativity, and communication, while industry stakeholders identified some gaps, like stress management, public speaking, and decision-making. Employers from the restaurant world, beauty salons, and the academe also regarded technical skills and soft skills, but gave weight to interpersonal skills and job-specific skills. Students showed moderate skills in these areas, indicating a need for improving the curriculum and training. In the food industry, food safety and sanitation training, rated at 3.90 on average, most followed on the highest priority for this department's graduates' employment. In Beauty Salons, communication, customer service, and creativity were rated high (mean 3.90), thus emphasizing the value of soft skills in user experiences. In Academe, the skills most strongly emphasized are communication, adaptability, and collaboration, which are part of the requirements for having an inclusive and effective learning environment. Managerial Skills result-oriented behavior scored highest with an average of 3.45, indicating some level of direction. Communication Skills, openness to feedback was highest (mean score 3.55), indicating willingness to improve. Problem-Solving Skills, seeking help, collaboration scored high on the scale, 3.50, reflecting good self-awareness. Professional Skills, maintaining positive relationships scored highest (mean 3.45), indicating strong interpersonal abilities. The Home Economics strand has glaring pluses in preparing students for contemporary careers. An enhancement in the curriculum should allow for the teaching to be more aligned with current market expectations, provide more real- world exposure, and support both students and teachers through training and resources. Properly delivered Home Economics education would bridge the gap between school and the workforce, equipping learners with skills crucial for their 21st-century success.

This study centered on how the demands of the job market conform
to the career preparedness of 4th-year Home Economics (HE) students under the
TVL track in Cuenca Municipality. The results revealed that the HE curriculum
imparts certain skill sets such as food safety, creativity, and communication, while
industry stakeholders identified some gaps, like stress management, public
speaking, and decision-making. Employers from the restaurant world, beauty
salons, and the academe also regarded technical skills and soft skills, but gave
weight to interpersonal skills and job-specific skills. Students showed moderate
skills in these areas, indicating a need for improving the curriculum and training.
In the food industry, food safety and sanitation training, rated at 3.90 on
average, most followed on the highest priority for this department's graduates'
employment. In Beauty Salons, communication, customer service, and creativity
were rated high (mean 3.90), thus emphasizing the value of soft skills in user
experiences. In Academe, the skills most strongly emphasized are communication,
adaptability, and collaboration, which are part of the requirements for having an
inclusive and effective learning environment. Managerial Skills result-oriented
behavior scored highest with an average of 3.45, indicating some level of direction.
Communication Skills, openness to feedback was highest (mean score 3.55),
indicating willingness to improve. Problem-Solving Skills, seeking help,
collaboration scored high on the scale, 3.50, reflecting good self-awareness.
Professional Skills, maintaining positive relationships scored highest (mean 3.45),
indicating strong interpersonal abilities.
The Home Economics strand has glaring pluses in preparing students for
contemporary careers. An enhancement in the curriculum should allow for the
teaching to be more aligned with current market expectations, provide more real-
world exposure, and support both students and teachers through training and
resources. Properly delivered Home Economics education would bridge the gap
between school and the workforce, equipping learners with skills crucial for their
21st-century success.
