The collaborative framework described in this paper illustrates the effectiveness of pragmatic models in the collaborative inquiry. Two fundamental tenets—congenial and collegial—are used in four cases to highlight key milestones achieved through initiatives and support systems within the East Africa Hub. Each case’s milestones are described using content analysis and how the tenets fit the model framework vis-à-vis the collaborative paradigm adopted. Finally, the paper recommends scaling efforts to encourage more institutions to incorporate best practices of different institutional collaborations for capacity building and innovations. Institutions should make more concerted efforts to bolster additional collegial and congenial collaborative structures while ensuring a holistic approach in engaging all stakeholders for better student employment outcomes.
