This study systematically maps the professional trajectories of Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BSIT) graduates from the College of Information Technology Education (CITE) at Nueva Vizcaya State University, Bayombong Campus, aiming to cover the period from 2021 to 2025. Employing a concurrent mixed-methods research design, the study triangulates quantitative performance metrics with qualitative thematic insights. Data were collected through Google Forms surveys and Messenger-based outreach, followed by rigorous manual cleaning and processing in a Google Colab environment using Pandas. Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) and visualization through Matplotlib and Seaborn were utilized to identify longitudinal trends. Results indicate a resilient employability profile, with a peak employment rate of 77.61% in 2022 and a significant recovery in job relevance reaching 73.8% in 2024. The findings reveal a balanced absorption across both public and private sectors, with graduates successfully securing specialized roles in software engineering, technical support, and public sector IT management. The study concludes that the BSIT program maintains high market responsiveness and supports Sustainable Development Goals 4 (Quality Education) and 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth). Recommendations focus on institutionalizing a permanent, data-driven "Alumni Engagement Ecosystem" and an Industry-Alumni Advisory Board to maintain a continuous feedback loop for curriculum enhancement and strategic resource allocation.
