The silent struggle affecting new graduates’ path to employment in Tanzania

Dar es Salaam. Mental health challenges among graduates are becoming a growing concern in career development discussions, with experts warning that personal struggles, pressure and repeated rejection can affect how young people approach the job market.

They argue that experiences such as difficult upbringing, public criticism during school years, family expectations and repeated rejection can affect confidence, decision-making and the ability of some young people to recognise and pursue available career opportunities.
