Supporting graduate transition into the job market

This report is part of a series of thematic reviews conducted to reflect on Skills for Prosperity (S4P) programme progress and lessons learnt

Abstract

This report has been produced as part of the UK aid-funded Skills for Prosperity (S4P) programme. S4P supports education and skills development to reduce poverty and contribute to inclusive economic growth in 9 partner countries: Brazil, Egypt, Kenya, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Nigeria, the Philippines and South Africa.

This report is part of a series of thematic reviews being conducted to reflect on S4P progress and lessons learnt. The review presents a snapshot of how S4P is supporting graduate transition into the job market and also includes examples from elsewhere. The scope includes graduates from Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) and Higher Education (HE). This topic is important for all education and training systems, as they all enable learning but ultimately aim to prepare individuals for employment and self-employment. For TVET in particular, with its focus on providing relevant knowledge and skills linked to labour market needs, learner progression into (relevant) employment is critical. This is an important theme for S4P as the programme’s overall ambition is to accelerate sustainable and inclusive economic growth.
