This study aims to investigate the employment status and learning achievement of graduates majoring in Financial Management and Investment under the Bachelor of Business Administration Program, Faculty of Business Administration, Maejo University, in the academic year 2024. A quantitative research methodology was employed, utilizing a questionnaire as the primary data collection instrument. The research was conducted in two parts: (1) an analysis of employment status among 32 graduates, and (2) an evaluation of learning achievement among 33 individuals comprising both graduates and final-year (fourth-year) students. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistical methods, including frequency, percentage, and mean.
Findings on the employment status of graduates revealed that the majority (81.75%) were employed. Most were employed by domestic Thai organizations in the private sector. Among these, 34.48% were employed in positions that were directly related to their field of study. The most common job title among the graduates was finance officer. A majority of the graduates reported a job-seeking period of between 1 to 3 months. Regarding employment duration, most had been working for a period ranging from 1 to 6 months or 1 to 2 years. The majority reported a monthly salary between 15,001 and 20,000 Baht. None of the graduates had pursued further education at the postgraduate level. In terms of supplementary factors influencing employment, most graduates indicated that English language proficiency was the most significant factor. Other important factors included possessing a professional license or certification, proficiency in Chinese, skills in computer and information systems, and other specialized abilities. Regarding learning achievement, both fourth-year students and graduates demonstrated a high level of achievement based on the Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs) for the academic year 2022. However, when specifically analyzing achievement related to domain-specific financial knowledge and competencies, both groups exhibited a moderate level of learning achievement.
