Innovation and Entrepreneurship for Youth Employment in Tanzania.

Abstract

There has been a mismatch between Higher Learning Institutions curricular and entrepreneurship skills in the field. This mismatch in many cases has been attributed by inadequate integration between innovation and entrepreneurship in most of higher learning institutions teaching methodologies. Mainly the teaching methodologies in higher Education has been emphasizing on the theories with a little dimension from the practitioners. This situation leads to majority of higher education students’ graduate with mindset of job seekers instead of being job creator. This paper calls upon higher education management to collaborate with the practitioners from the initial stage of development of the curricula to the implementation phase.
