Entrepreneurship education boosts graduate employability and skills in Tanzania
The article explores how entrepreneurship education and skills development programs in Tanzania can improve graduates' employability. The researchers collected data from employers, school management, and graduates to study the impact of these programs. They found that participating in skills development activities and taking entrepreneurship courses can enhance employability. The study also showed that parents' education and occupation do not affect employability. Employers are more likely to hire graduates with strong employability skills, regardless of their field of study. The researchers developed a model that suggests it takes about 6 years for an individual to acquire the necessary employability skills, which can be maintained through ongoing skills development activities.
