As home economists seek to expand their roles in employment, it becomes increasingly important to be able to describe their perspectives in relation to labor market. The purpose of this study was to investigate desirable qualifications of home economics graduates required by private enterprises. Multi-stage sampling technique was employed to obtain 223 subjects from business firms, hospitals, hotels, and private schools in Bangkok. Data were collected through a questionnaire, developed and pretested to explore the opinion of the sample. Quantitative as well as qualitative analyses were conducted to obtain significant results. The results showed the desirable qualifications of home economics graduates required by private enterprises as follows: 1) academic competency: work-related competency, professional creativity, and practical application; 2) special skills: communication skills, critical thinking and problem-solving skills; and 3) personality and human relations: responsibility, discipline, enthusiasm, and honesty. Statistical analysis of the data indicated a significant difference of academic competency required by private enterprises. In addition, an open-ended question revealed the importance to place the major concern on the revision and development of home economics curriculum to meet labor market needs. Courses suggested to be provided in the baccalaureate program included business administration/management, communication and language skill, personality development, human relations, leadership, psychology, and computer skill.
