As you might know, Higher Education institutions (HEIs) are faced with growing expectations to drive socio economic development. Evidently, there are growing demands for Higher Education Institutions to demonstrate our value and contribution to the national vision of developing highly productive human resources which are competitive not only nationally, but also regionally and internationally. The University of Namibia is no exception to these expectations.
Part of our excellence is premised on the quality of Learning and Teaching. In order to consolidate the University of Namibia’s position, we have made Education and Graduate Employability as one of our strategic pillars with graduate employment rate as one of the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). Our aim is to move towards graduating students equipped with industry required skills and ready to contribute to the national economy. Thus, the University of Namibia considers graduate tracer studies as a significant opportunity to assess the impact of the qualifications on graduates’ employability, the usefulness of the academic programmes, as well as, the quality of services received by graduates during their studies.
With that background, I therefore take this moment to urge our graduates / Alumni who graduated in 2017 & 2018 to positively participate in the graduate tracer study - for the good of our graduates, our students, our institution and our country at large. Our teams have developed the survey, to be time conscious and user friendly.
Please note: The information received will be treated with strict confidentiality and will solely be used for planning and programme development purposes. The results for this study will be published in tabula and graphical formats without compromising individual privacy and identification. The UNAM graduate survey study report will be available on the website of the University of Namibia and printed copies of this report will be provided to stakeholders upon request.Thank you!
