The high unemployment rate among higher education graduates indicates a gap between graduates’ competencies and the needs of the labor market. The objective of this study is to formulate strategies for enhancing the competencies of the Department’s alumni. The research subjects are 154 alumni of the Department of Management from batch 53-57 (2016–2020) who are currently employed. The methods employed include descriptive analysis, Importance Performance Analysis (IPA), and Net Promoter Score (NPS). The descriptive analysis results indicate that internships provide very high benefits and that alumni have mastered the competencies based on the graduate learning outcomes. The IPA results show that communication skills fall into the “concentrate here” quadrant. The NPS results indicate that alumni demonstrate positive loyalty. This research serves as the basis for formulating the Teaching Lab University program, which aims to provide students with direct internship opportunities and develop the skills required in the labor market.
