| Abstract | Many graduates are joining the Tanzanian labour market at the end of every academic year. Self-employment category of the labour market has not been given priority in most of our strategies for growth as one of key employment opportunities to these high trained human resources to reduce pressure of unemployment. Guided by the TPB the study aimed on the factors influencing student's self-employment intention. It was found that, parental role model and risks tolerance are key factors and they significantly and positively influence student's intention towards self-employment by 1.180264 and 2.168818 more than the contrary respectively. It was further found that, both male and female students are potential for self-employment if trained and subjected to self-business norms with female demonstrating 0.4113016 higher intention than male and that, it is better to nurture them while they are in the education system at earlier years of their life because the more older they become the lesser the intention they develop with the marginal of 2.01579. Therefore, the study recommended incorporation of student's self-reliance and self-business programs in the education policy with self-employment topics in every programme across all levels of schooling to ensure all our youth get self-employment intention developed |
