# A new alumni survey from the Ikusasa Student Financial Aid Programme has shown that 67-percent of funded graduates are employed or in internships, while 13-percent remain unemployed. Most jobs are concentrated in Gauteng, with 59-percent of graduates working there, compared to just seven-percent in the Western Cape. CEO Werner Abrahams says geography, market saturation, and a mismatch between qualifications and jobs remain key barriers. Contract work is also dominating and found to offer great experience but with little stability. The programme plans to improve job alignment through employer partnerships.
