Beyond the Degree: Top Employability Skills Every Graduate Needs to Succeed

You’ve graduated. Now what?
For many Kenyan graduates, finishing university is a proud milestone—but it’s also just the beginning. The job market is competitive, and employers are looking for more than academic qualifications.
They’re looking for employability skills—the real-world capabilities that show you can thrive in a team, solve problems, communicate clearly, and keep growing.
What Are Employability Skills?
Employability skills (also called soft or life skills) are the traits and abilities that make you job-ready and workplace-relevant. They include:
-
Effective communication (verbal and written)
-
Problem-solving and critical thinking
-
Adaptability and emotional intelligence
-
Time management and self-discipline
-
Teamwork and leadership
-
Professionalism and work ethic
These skills are often the difference between getting shortlisted—or overlooked.
The Gap Between School and Work
Many universities equip students with theoretical knowledge, but few teach how to:
-
Present ideas confidently in an interview
-
Collaborate with difficult colleagues
-
Manage deadlines under pressure
-
Adapt to changing workplace demands
-
Lead projects or communicate with clients
