Fish Processing
This syllabus is set to provide Basic Enhancing Skills on Processing. As a developing country, Tanzania is facing many challenges related to provide socio-economic skills among young people. Young people in Tanzania are powerful agents and key stakeholders to support the country’s efforts toward building an industrial and middle income status by 2025, but they lack required knowledge, skills and attitude as they apply to tap into their locally available resources.
The skills development is operationalized by Training-Learning Tasks (TLT), which are results based oriented with clear indicators to weigh out qualitative and quantitative achievement levels. Therefore, this syllabus, which reflects a “place based curriculum” aims at putting young people’s skills to real work situations on fish processing activities so as to improve their productivity while achieving their sustainable livelihoods.
