Tracer study is a highly valuable research tool for evaluating higher education outcomes and can serve as a foundation for enhancing educational quality. This study employs a quantitative approach with a survey methodology. The population consists of graduates from the Accounting Program Graduates of the 2020, with saturated sampling used so that the entire population becomes the sample. The study achieved a response rate of 53%. The results are analyzed using descriptive statistics to present various information about the graduates, including the number of graduates, employment status, waiting time to obtain a job, and the distribution of workplace locations. The findings indicate that Management graduates are able to sustain employment as private sector employees, with a horizontal alignment rate of 85%, meaning that the majority of graduates work in fields relevant to their area of study. These results provide important evidence for measuring the alignment between education and the workforce, as well as offering valuable insights for curriculum development and improving career services at the university
