Nairobi Seminar

Labour market insertion of African graduates. The experience of Erasmus Mundus

Deborah Arnold

The European Commission and the EACEA organised an Erasmus Mundus regional seminar in Kenya on 2-3 April 2025, focused on the labour market prospects of Erasmus Mundus graduates in Africa.

This seminar gathered approximately 60 participants (both onsite and online), including representatives from Erasmus Mundus consortia, African industry partners, labour market representatives, stakeholder organisations from Africa and the EU, as well as African students and alumni. Together, we examined the career paths of African higher education graduates, explored how Erasmus Mundus can better align with labour market needs in different regions in Africa, and highlighted the potential of partnerships between higher education institutions, industry, and civil society.
