dc.description.abstract | The paper discusses findings from a tracer study of B.Com graduates of the Faculty of
Commerce and Management of the University of Dar es Salaam. Findings about the level and
type of technical knowledge and skills required of graduates in the job market are related to
the faculty curriculum. The paper further discusses employers’ evaluation of the knowledge
and skills of graduates. The conclusion is that although knowledge and skills imparted by the
Faculty were found to be relevant in the job market, there was a need to restructure the
faculty programme in order to rationalise the extent of generalisation as against
specialisation, streamline existing courses, include more relevant courses and address the
needs of the emerging private sector. | en |
