Universities need to take stock of the current state of graduate employability from both the employers' and the graduates' perspectives if they are to respond effectively to the knowledge and skills requirements of the industry. Globally, graduate employability is a concept that is becoming increasingly popular in the higher education sector. The underlying assumption is that graduates need attributes other than those skills needed in the subject-specific discipline. This article provides an assessment of stakeholders' perceptions on graduate employability attributes for management sciences graduates in Namibia. The study applied a survey method, with questionnaires being administered to the three types of stakeholder, namely, employers, lecturers and graduates. The study found a mismatch in responses between these stakeholders regarding the attributes that are important for the job market, those that are emphasised in curricula, and those that graduates need more training on. The argument presented by the article is that mapping stakeholders' perceptions will enable universities to equip their graduates with employability attributes needed by the industry.
