  Abstract

This study investigated views from secondary school students on their employment expectations in the course of competence-based education [CBE] in Tanzania after schooling. Specifically, the study investigated expected future job plans among secondary school students and how CBE has oriented them to achieve their expected future job plans. A total of twenty four (24) secondary school students were involved in the study. Data were collected using focus group discussions and documentary review. The study revealed that CBE has oriented secondary school students to endeavor in small scale entrepreneurship enterprises and continue with further studies. The study recommends transitional programmes among secondary students so as to achieve their expectations as soon as they complete their schooling.
