Differences and relationship the career readiness of NCII caregiving graduates across their profile variables, also proposed a career development program to enhance the readiness of the NCII caregiving graduates. A descriptive quantitative method was used, with seventy five (75) respondents purposively selected graduates of the year 2021-2022 of a TESDA-accredited training schools of Pangasinan. The NCII caregiving graduates are young adults, female, married; while when comes to their employment status, nearly all are employed local not related to skills, residential, minimum wage earner, found job 5 months after graduation and stays to short period of time.

For the enhancement on the career readiness of the NCII caregiving graduates, the researcher recommends that a continuous assessment and evaluation of the implementation of the training regulations. Furthermore, training institutions, to continuously appraise, examine and if possible, implement the proposed career development program to enhance the readiness of the NC II caregiving graduates. Lastly, future researchers are advised to conduct related studies with wider perspective to explore and to help further enhance the career readiness of NCII caregiving graduates through their skills and competence development.
