This study examines vocational education’s effectiveness in addressing youth unemployment and promoting economic self-reliance in Tanzania. Data from 394 vocational graduates were analyzed using descriptive statistics and regression models to assess the impact of vocational training on employment and economic outcomes. Results show that 83.6% of respondents believe vocational education provides essential employment skills, while 62.3% agree it enhances productivity. However, 39.3% highlight the need for reforms to better align training with labor market needs. The findings underscore vocational education's vital role in youth employment, advocating for curriculum updates and increased resources to improve system effectiveness.
