of CIU
Over three quarters of the respondents indicated that the CIU education experience prepared them with collaboration and teamwork skills, problem-solving and critical thinking skills, ethics and accountability skills, leadership and communication skills. CIU has also enabled them to take initiative in their professional life. Graduates who exhibited excellent performance at their place of work mentioned that they acquired this same skillset at CIU. Averagely 92% of respondents who have received the Employee of the Year award at their organisation (at least once) indicated that their education experience at IHSU/CIU contributed to their acquisition of the specific skills mentionedabove. AlmosthalfoftherespondentsindicatedthatCIUcouldimproveonthedelivery of advocacy skills and technology literacy. This may be an indication of why very few CIU graduates do advocacy work as shown in the Specialisations of Graduates section below. Approximately 90% of the respondents who got a job in less than a year after graduation indicated that they acquired strong problem-solving, collaboration and teamwork skills; more than half of these (57%) mentioned that they got a job immediately after graduation. Therefore, there may be a relationship between this skillset and employability of CIU’s graduates
Employment Status of Graduates
According to Figure 1 below, 90% of the respondents are employed, while 10% of the respondents are unemployed but are either pursuing additional education or volunteering at the time of the survey. It should be noted, however, that most of the respondents who indicated that they are unemployed also mentioned that they are engaged in private business.

The graph below shows the employment status by degree acquired.
Figure
Graduates with the Master of Science degree in Public Health (MPH) had the highest number of employed respondents and statistically the least number of unemployed per total respondents. Further, the data indicates that the highest number of graduates that were already employed or had found a job immediately after graduation were those that had received the MPH degree. 45% of the (employed) respondents indicated that they were already employed by the time they graduated at CIU; while only one percent of those who were employed by the time they participated in the survey took more than a year to get a job.
The figure below shows how long graduates took to find a job.

Table 3 above shows employment status according to acquired degree. Responses show that the highest number of unemployed CIU graduates who were pursuing further studies at the time of the survey were graduates of the Bachelor of Science in Public Health (BSCPH) and Bachelor of Nursing degrees. However, it should be noted that none of the employed BSCPH and BNS graduates who participated in this survey had taken more than a year to find a job.
Almost all respondents including unemployed graduates would encourage another person to join CIU because the University has high quality and creative teaching methods that encourage critical thinking, foster innovation, there is problem-based learning and flexible programing, and the lecturers are dedicated. The following are some of the top reasons for this potential recommendation:
i. It is a world class academic institution with excellent teaching methods that favor every individual with well-organized systems that make you feel at home at all times. CIU prepares students to make a difference in their communities through identifying health needs/challengesandcomeupwithsolutionstoaddressthem.Ithascompetentexperienced teaching andsupport staffs whocan easilybe approached anywhere and they canbeof help at all times.
ii. It promotes critical and analytical thinking. Indeed, it takes out of the lecture room
iii. The University has quality in the services provided and so would recommend another person to go a Course there which will make them a person with a difference.
iv. The teaching methods prepare students to solve community problems
v. Because it offers problem-based learning

vi. It opens your mind and makes you think holistically and improves your critical thinking and judgment of matters and of course a well-rounded knowledgeable and skilled nurse ready to practice anywhere in the world.
vii. CIU has great lecturers, great curriculum, a great registration and a great and visionary vice chancellor: a great team!
viii. It’s because IHSU [CIU] gave me the best while there. The teaching, skills were all worth. I see in practice a big difference if I'm to compare products of other institutions.
ix. Because it is well equipped especially the library and the majority of staff are good communicators who are result oriented; good IT support
x. It is accessible
xi. Reliable record system (good experience of academic and finance records)
xii. No long bureaucracy in Management
xiii. The human centered design of education delivery
xiv. I have been in horn of Africa and East Africa I didn’t get any institutions similar to IHSU/CIU, the way handling education and training which is the best of [best]
xv. The knowledge and skills I attained while at IHSU not only enabled me perform well at a job given to me but discussions with stakeholders with confidence because I know what I say.
xvi. The integrity of the lecturers. Grades are obtained authentically.
xvii. Flexible learning environment but with strict academic performance focused teaching institution.
xviii. The ranking of the university has greatly improved.
xix. It gives hope for employment and a future to graduates.
xx. I believe CIU would give opportunities to many people of diverse culture to easily fit into the school system but also appreciate their background and others' as well respectfully, and be able to achieve their academic goals successfully.
xxi. I was impressed [by] how research is done
xxii. Our lecturers are excellent, when I joined UMI I did not find problems competing with students from public Universities.
xxiii. Good administration
xxiv. Because CIU prepares you to face the real world. Teaching is practical not just for passing exams
xxv. Ownership of work through Turnitin software. No Plagiarism.
xxvi. The team work and multicultural diversity
Five respondents indicated that they would only recommend a person to join CIU after it has received the Charter. They report that as a result of not being Chartered, they have faced difficulty joining a public University for post-graduate studies. It appears that some respondents would be hesitant to recommend students to join CIU due to what they indicate were frustrations with the change of name from International Health Sciences University to Clarke International University as well as seemingly high tuition fees.
