Alumni Impact and Employability

Alumni Impact and Employability Report 2026

University of Tunis El Manar - analytical report prepared from the UTM Shine alumni employability page, updated national statistics, and user-provided 2026 outreach totals

 

 

 

1. Executive summary

This 2026 report presents a narrative on alumni impact and employability at the University of Tunis El Manar (UTM). It draws on the latest UTM as well as national statistics available under the title “Alumni Impact and Employability 2026”, which reports employability data by disciplinary area collected systematically from Alumni pages as well as during scientific and cultural events organised for UTM alumni, and states that national statistics on university graduates are also considered on a quarterly basis.

For the 2026 reporting frame used in this version, the alumni outreach totals provided by the requester indicate that 3,600 alumni were contacted and 2,450 responded, corresponding to a response rate of 68.1%. These values are illustrated on the public page published by UTM. These are actual disciplinary employability rates unless newer official values are released.

 

 

2. Key findings

• UTM’s published disciplinary employability profile shows very strong outcomes in Medicine, Healthcare, and Engineering, each reported at 100%.

• The overall employability rate shown on the UTM Shine page is nearly 92%.

• Among the listed disciplines, Law has the lowest published employability rate at 87%, while Economics and Management are reported at 89% and 87% respectively.

• The 2026 outreach totals point to a substantial alumni feedback base, with 2,450 responses from 3,600 contacts.

• National labour-market context remains important: according to INS, Tunisia’s overall unemployment rate was 15.2% in the fourth quarter of 2025, while unemployment among higher-education graduates reached 24.9% in the third quarter of 2025.

4. Interpretation

 

The published pattern suggests that UTM’s strongest labour-market alignment is concentrated in health-related and engineering programmes. These areas are likely benefiting from clearer professional pathways, stronger sectoral demand, and more direct links between training and employment.

By contrast, programmes such as Law, Economics, Management, Biotechnology, and Fundamental Sciences show lower published employability levels. This does not imply weak academic quality; rather, it may indicate a more competitive labour market, longer transition periods after graduation, or a need for stronger career intermediation and employer engagement.

The global rate of 85.098% remains notable in light of the broader Tunisian employment environment. This means the UTM alumni outcomes presented on the public page compare favourably with national unemployment indicators, especially when viewed against the persistent challenges affecting graduates at the national level.

6. 2026 Alumni Outreach Analytics

This report incorporates updated operational figures supplied for the 2026 edition: 3,600 alumni contacted and 2,450 respondents. The resulting response rate is 68.1%.

A response base of this size can strengthen the credibility of alumni impact reporting, provided that disciplinary distribution, graduation cohorts, and employment-status definitions remain consistent across the survey process.

 

8. Conclusion

UTM’s published alumni employability profile remains a strong institutional asset, particularly in medicine, healthcare, and engineering. When placed in the wider national context, the reported overall employability level appears robust.

The addition of the 2026 outreach totals improves the usefulness of the report by providing a clearer sense of the response base behind alumni engagement efforts.
