As a foreigner, it is likely that you will have skills that are needed in the country. some private sectors have seen rapid expansion in recent times, and thus there are many work opportunities for those with skills and experience in these certain areas. They are the following: information and communication (ICT), financial and insurance activities, as well as transport and storage. If you have skills in such fields, many companies are already searching for people like yourself.

Another great area to get work in Tanzania as an expat is teaching English. You will need to have at least a Bachelor’s degree or equivalent (majoring in anything, it does not need to be in education) as well as a TEFL (Teach English as a Foreign Language) qualification. These can be obtained in 150h online courses by internationally acclaimed language schools, as well as done practically in person through an accredited language school in your current place of residence. It is advised that you complete this prior to arriving in the country.
