Abstract This research uses the framework of Locke's Value Theory to investigate the career development trajectories of HR Management graduates from the University of Mindanao over the past five years. Utilizing Fuzzy C-Means Clustering, five distinct career development clusters were identified, showing variations in job satisfaction, employment status, skill acquisition, and professional engagement. The sample of 16 graduates was surveyed with a standardized tracer study questionnaire administered through Google Forms, and the data were bootstrapped for analysis. The results suggest that the value alignment between people and their careers is essential to ensuring satisfaction and professional development. Recommendations aim to upgrade the training programs and support professional organization memberships with aligned educational offerings that cater to industry requirements, thus helping fulfill UNSDG goals for Quality Education and Decent Work and Economic Growth.
