dc.description	Tanzania like many other developing countries is facing unemployment problem. The government established vocational training institutions including FDCs in order to provide technical skills for self-reliance and self-employment. The purpose of this study was to explore the views on the effectiveness of FDCs in promoting self-reliance and selfemployment among the FDC alumni. It used a descriptive survey research design to examine a total of eighty (80) respondents. Data were collected using observation, interviews and documentary reviews. The findings disclosed that most of the community members had negative perception on the effectiveness of FDCs in promoting self-reliance and self-employment to FDCs alumni. This study proposes that FDC management and tutors need to conduct a tracer study to locate their graduants. This would help to understand what they are doing and how effective they are doing. The tracer study would also help in developing curricular that could be more appropriate in the job market.
