He said there were some factors that should be considered by the law students in shaping their minds to become more competent in the job market after completing their studies. Among others, he urged them to brand themselves by promoting their works, be focused on what they what to achieve for the future as well as obtain soft skills.

The UDSM lecturer at the Department of Private Law, Nicksoni Filbert, advised law makers in the country to bring changes to the law of the child, the law on illegal human trafficking and the law on cybercrimes in order to protect Tanzanians from such acts.
