Graduates’ labour market preps for increased employability

Implications for trainers
Training institutions should ensure that they prepare students for the labour market in its broad sense of getting employed and self employment.
This entails among other things proper linkages between theories and practice. This includes having adequate field attachments for students and guest lectures from practitioners in the world of work.
They should also improve linkages with employers so as to have demand- as opposed to supply-driven education. Approaches towards this include having joint curricula development and review in the context of university-industry linkages.
They should also introduce labour market skills, conduct tracer studies and entrepreneurship courses.
They should also involve employers to advise students on their labour market needs possible before students even enroll into various courses.
