| Abstract: | The article deals with the relation between higher education and employment in Sudan. It evaluates the efficiency of a training project realized in collaboration between international and local private and government partners that aimed to provide university graduates with employment opportunities. The INSO Project (Innovation in society: Training paths and human capital enhancement in Sudan) took place from 2017 to 2019. The research methodology consists of a questionnaire survey among the project participants to collect data on their employment achievements after almost two years of their graduation and a series of interviews about their professional integration. The collected data are analyzed in the context of the Sudanese socio-economic environment, higher education, and development. The study reveals a significant rate of employment for the graduates of this training project and a positive impact of specific training related to job search techniques. |
