This research analyzes the graduate employment rates across various higher education institutions in Timor-Leste using a mixed-method approach. Findings indicate significant variations in employment rates among graduates, highlighting mismatches between educational outcomes and market needs. Notably, the Universidade Nacional Timor Lorosa’e (UNTL) 82.21% across six study program and Universidade da Paz (UNPAZ) overing unique study program in Public Health within rate 81.99% exhibit impressive employment rates respectively, suggesting effective preparation for the job market. In contrast, the Universidade de Dili (UNDIL) shows a lower rate of 65.19%, indicating potential curriculum gaps. Overall, the average employment rate in healthcare disciplines is 78%, with a concerning 22% unemployment rate, pointing to a need for enhanced alignment between education and employment strategies. Recommendations include strengthening partnerships between educational institutions and employers and further research to identify barriers faced by graduates. Therefore Instituto Superior Cristal (ISC) 71,78% no Instituto de Ciencias da Saude (ICS) 68,47% respectively. These figures raise concerns about the relevance and applicability of the training provided in these institutions, which may not be adequately aligned with market demands. Overall, the average employment rate of 78% across all healthcare disciplines, coupled with a concerning 22% unemployment rate, suggests that while the healthcare sector is expanding, significant gaps remain in the alignment between educational outcomes and job market demands. This presents an imperative for stakeholders from educational institutions to policymakers to engage in collaborative efforts to enhance graduates' employability and developing strategies to bridge the gap between education and employment
