Trinidad Cebu Technological University – Naga Extension Campus Abstract - The purpose of the research was to determine the acceptability of Web-based Alumni Tracing and Job Search System that focuses on alumni records for easy access and job search links to seek employment. The descriptive-developmental research method was used in this study. A modified questionnaire regarding Technology Acceptance Model from Davis (1986) was used to gather information for the development of the system. This also employed analysis and gathering of data to design and develop the plan. Moreover, the study's respondents were the Eighty (80) Alumni of CTU Naga Extension Campus and Twenty (20) Faculties. Furthermore, the study revealed that the Cebu Technological University Naga Extension Campus needs an information system that focuses on the alumni tracing and job search system, specifically the Diffusion of Web-Based Alumni Tracing and Job Search System. The study recommended adopting the Diffusion of Web-Based Alumni Tracing and Job Search System (DWAT-JS).

To collect such information, it is necessary to perform a study called Tracer Study. Tracer studies enable universities to collect information that might aid in course modifications and improvements, setting the framework for comprehensive program and university content evaluations (Schomburg & Teichler, 2011). (Nivera, Toledo, Sualibio, Boral, & Asuncion, 2013). Also, it is a powerful tool that can offer insightful data for assessing graduates' locations and performance in the job. 2019 (Cuadra et al.) The aforementioned remark emphasizes that a tracer study is a technique for tracking information on a specific sample by first making an intervention that will eventually result in the intended impact. Tracer study is a way that can be done by educational institutions to obtain information about the advantages and disadvantages that may occur during the learning process at school in order to be an evaluation material for improving learning in the future (Schomburg, 2003). Tracer study also allows alumni to provide quantitative data related to activities they are currently engaged in after graduating from school (Millington, 2008). According to Lange (2001), tracer studies are intended to map the graduates' competencies and assess the value of their training. It offers cumulative data that enables universities to modify their approach to
