This state-of-play report delves into the current global employability and labour market prospects for African EM graduates. Specifically, it examines their performance within EM programmes, their transition into the labour market after graduation, and their career development as EM alumni. The aim is to provide context and support expert-level discussions among participants during the regional seminar ‘Labour market insertion of African graduates: The experience of Erasmus Mundus’, to be held in a hybrid format in Nairobi on 2nd and 3rd April 2025. During the event, participants will be encouraged to share good practices for enhancing the labour market insertion of African EM graduates, discuss effective methods for tracking and measuring this integration, explore strategies for better aligning Erasmus Mundus with local and regional labour market needs, and highlight partnerships with industry and civil society within EM consortia.
