This research aims at exploring graduate employability challenges in Mauritius before proposing recommendations to better prepare Mauritian graduates for the needs of the labour market. The project is part of a wider research initiative from Curtin University, Australia, to study graduate work-readiness in the Asia Pacific region as well as Mauritius.
The main objectives of this research are therefore to:
1. Evaluate the extent and nature of work-readiness/employability challenges facing graduates, private sector employers, government, and Higher Education institutions (academic and vocational) within Mauritius.
2. Identify the current strategies and approaches that (a) government, (b) educational institutions, and (c) other key stakeholders have developed to address these challenges.
3. Determine how effective these strategies have been to date from multiple stakeholder lenses.
4. Recommend an effective strategy to address these challenges for key stakeholders in Mauritius.
