Youth in the country are been urged to seize self-improvement opportunities at the ongoing 38th Dar es Salaam International Trade Fair (DITF) by interacting with the exhibitors (and other visitors)to strengthen their business and information networks through which they will gain useful ideas that serve as guidelines towards self-employment or as leads to employment opportunities.
Speaking over the weekend in Dar es Salaam, the Director General of Tanzania Trade Development Authority (Tantrade), Jacqueline Maleko said the DITF has a lot to offer to the numerous unemployed Tanzanian graduates.
As an example, she said that there is a considerably large number of foreigners participating at the fair and who are scouting for competent talents with whom they may team up in the course of developing their enterprises.
“It is saddening to see our youth failing to make proper use of this golden opportunity especially those that are unemployed…this is their time, they are exhibitors looking for competent youth to hire or partner,” she said.
Maleko reminded the youth that the trade fair is not meant for the sale of products and services but rather, to serve as a networking platform and business exposure.
“At the end of the fair,” she said “…the authority expects a large number of jobs will have been created, joint ventures signed, and of all, technological ideas gained.”
The DG also called upon local business people to “…hold constructive talks with their foreign counterparts and seek joint ventures.”
“There are about 500 foreign companies participating this year,” she said”…this is a great opportunity to seek joint ventures and learn the many technological advancement that are use to make production easier and more efficient,” she noted adding that big countries with advanced technologies like China, Japan and USA are participating in the exhibition and a lot can be learnt from them.
This year’s exhibition has attracted over 1,700 local participants and around 500 foreign companies.
