Abstract


The study applied the pathways approach, Survey Monkey and Snowballing techniques to ascertain the employability status of the 2012 graduates of Makerere University. The majority of the graduates were employed in the public sector on full time basis. The young graduates, however, favorably competed for entry job opportunities with the mature graduates. A reasonable number of the 2012 Makerere University graduates were engaged in self-employment as an avenue for addressing the problem of graduate unemployment in Uganda.

Key words: Graduate unemployment, Makerere University, Tracer studies, Pathways
