Graduate Employability study in Kenya

The University of Nairobi, through the Office of the Dean of Students and Career Services opened its doors to staff members from the University of Kent’s Career Office. This was part of an ongoing exchange program between the two institutions under the Erasmus plus funding where staff and students are given a chance to connect engage and share good practices and areas of improvement.

Several Kenyan bosses reportedly prefer the University of Nairobi (UoN) graduates, according to recent research. The research found out that those who passed through UoN had a 38% chance of landing jobs.

Others included Kenyatta University (30%), Technical University (10%), Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (19%). Egerton and Maseno tied with 18%.

Dubbed "The State of Graduate Employability in Kenya," the study was conducted between November 2019 and January 2020, and undertaken by CPS International.
