Graduate Employability

Work-based learning (WBL) has a long history in higher education in Nigeria. The current WBL programs are the Students' Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) and the Graduate Internship (GI). They are sponsored by the federal government with the aim to improve employment outcomes. However, there is still a gross mismatch between the skills of graduates and the demands of employers. This chapter analyzes why the WBL programs in Nigeria have yet not been successful, and suggests alternatives. The analysis reveals a dysfunctional job placement process as a primary barrier and suggests consolidating the SIWES and GI into one school-to-work program, based upon the Graduate Employability Skill Development (GESD) model, along with strategies to improve the development, management, and quality assurance of placement. The chapter concludes by underscoring the integration and effective management of WBL at all levels of education, including continuing education as an important and realistic approach that Nigeria should strive for to attain economic development.

Personal Skill

Pegasus is an initiative aimed at getting a greater level of career education and personal skill development work into the academic experience of the student in higher education. It is designed for undergraduates in the central and final years of their studies. Building on work already developed and well advanced in some institutions, it aims to respond to the concerns of employers that graduates often lack a sense of direction or identity in terms of their careers, and in selection and interview often fail to demonstrate well developed personal skills or self-confidence. The project therefore draws upon, and overlaps with, such activities as study skills programmes, the fostering of enabling skills within the academic course, and workshops and informational sessions traditionally offered by the Careers Service.

Direct Applicability

The thinking required by higher education student engagement in research processes may segue into the development of students’ work skills, enabling them to professionally transition to the workforce. However, although this transition may be facilitated before and during Work Integrated Learning [WIL] experiences, there is typically a gulf between the skills taught in higher education and skill requirements of industry. To address these challenges faced by WIL, and to connect students more effectively with contemporary and future employer needs, the first objective of this paper is to provide an overview of the use of a validated generic employability framework, the Work Skills Development [WSD] framework, and the second objective is to provide evidence about the framework’s effectiveness when used to articulate work skills and student autonomy. This overview of the WSD and its uses contributes to WIL pedagogy and has direct applicability to tertiary educators’ contribution to the development of student work mindset to bridge the gap between tertiary institutions and industry requirements.
