| dc.description.abstract | This study evaluated how well TANROADS's pre-retirement training programme improved the life skills of prospective retirees. It focused on three key objectives: to examine the pre-retirement training programme offered to TANROADS employees; to ascertain the degree to which pre-retirement training programme imparts necessary life skills to TANROADS prospective retirees; and to assess the programme's difficulties. The Developmental Tasks Theory and the Human Capital Theory served as the study's guiding theories. The study was carried out at the TANROADS offices in Dar es Salaam. Qualitative data were collected through interviews and focus groups discussion after then were analyzed thematically to generate themes and subthemes that are counted as findings of the study. The analysis of the data obtained revealed that TANROADS routinely conducted preretirement training for prospective retirees. Additionally, it was shown that participants in pre-retirement training programme receive instructions in a variety of life skills. People are exposed to different skills related to retirement. These include self-assurance in managing retirement life, investment skills, business abilities, and attention to maintaining one's health. Further, it was revealed that pre-retirement training programmes frequently face issues with funding, coordination and employees’ attitudes about retirement. Budget constraints and a lack of coordination are caused by a lack of a legal framework that could regulate and direct the preretirement training programme. It was determined that pre-retirement training programme needed to be legalized by the government through the adoption of legislation that would set down rules and a framework for how such training might be created, carried out, and assessed. The law must outline the length and frequency of training sessions. Further, TANROADS and the government as a whole must provide sufficient funds each financial year to support pre-retirement training programme for TANROADS employees as well as public sector workers nationwide. | |
