Graduate Tracer Study 2021
University Graduate Tracer Studies (GTS) are commonly becoming a recognizable practice worldwide (Badiru and Wahome, 2015). The findings from Graduate Tracer Studies have informed universities worldwide to accredit their study programs in order to better prepare their graduates to meet the demands of the job market (Palmiano 2018), to show uniqueness and positioning of individual universities; and also to enable universities and institutions managing higher education in their respective countries make informed and evidence based decisions about improvements and quality education; and services in higher education (Schomburg, 2011). Graduate tracer studies involve identification and follow-up of graduates from higher education institutions (HEIs) worldwide encouraged by the need to give careful consideration to how graduates view their experiences they underwent during their degree study and their transition to the job market (Badiru and Wahome, 2015).
