This is a tracer study of the graduates of Samar State College of Agriculture and Forestry from school years 1990-1991 to 1994-1995 with the specific purpose of formulating a proposed vocational guidance program for the secondary department. This study employed the descriptive-developmental research method using a researcher-made questionnaire checklist as the principal instrument in gathering data. On how guidance activities influenced the career choice of the respondents, the total weighted mean of the perception of the respondents is 3.43 which means that guidance activities have “moderately” influenced their career choices. There were only 3 items, wherein the respondents have signified that these guidance activities have influenced them “much” in their career choices. These were items in Personality Development, Career Development and Symposium. The following conclusions were drawn: There are more male respondents in the study. Majority of the respondents are self-employed, mostly in farming. The economic status of the majority of the respondents falls under “lower middle class” based on the scale established by the National Census and Statistics Office as of 1991. Majority of the respondents feel that the school should provide an “on the job training program” for graduating students. They particularly suggested that they need to have more insights into occupations that are related to their training in school which are agriculture and homemaking. There is no significant impact of the various guidance activities on the occupation status and income of the graduates.
