Abstract: The transition from higher education to employment remains a persistent challenge in hospitality education, where graduates are expected to demonstrate both technical proficiency and workplace readiness. While employability skills have been widely examined in the literature, limited empirical attention has been given to the comparative influence of students’ financial constraints alongside pre-employment competencies in shaping career preparedness, particularly within local college settings in developing regions. Addressing this gap, and grounded in Social Cognitive Career Theory and Human Capital Theory, this study investigated the extent to which financial constraints and pre-employment skills predict the career preparedness of Hospitality Management students, thereby providing localized empirical evidence on the relative contribution of contextual and competency-based factors.A descriptive–correlational research design was employed involving 169 fourth-year Hospitality Management students from a local college in Misamis Oriental, Philippines. Data were gathered through a structured questionnaire, which was subjected to construct validation via factor analysis and internal consistency testing using Cronbach’s alpha. Financial constraints were operationalized as a unidimensional construct, whereas pre-employment skills encompassed leadership, interpersonal competence, digital and technical literacy, and problem-solving skills. Descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis were utilized to test predictive relationships.The findings indicate high levels of financial constraints, pre-employment skills, and career preparedness. Regression results reveal that pre-employment skills significantly predict career preparedness, whereas financial constraints do not. This finding suggests that career readiness is primarily competency-driven rather than financially determined, providing empirical evidence that challenges conventional assumptions regarding the direct role of financial resources in employability outcomes.Overall, the study contributes to the employability literature by demonstrating that the development of pre-employment skills plays a more decisive role than financial constraints in shaping career preparedness among Hospitality Management students. It is therefore recommended that educational institutions prioritize structured, competency-based training programs and expand access to experiential learning opportunities to enhance students’ readiness for employment, regardless of financial limitations.
