Dar es Salaam. The University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM) has stepped up efforts to bridge the long-standing gap between academia and the labour market through a modern teaching methodology framework and enhanced collaboration with the private sector under the Higher Education for Economic Transformation (HEET) project.

The initiative, launched in 2021, aims to equip graduates with practical skills, provide lecturers with industrial exposure and strengthen ties with employers to improve job prospects for young professionals.
