Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>Over 1 000 learners are expected to gather at the Francistown College of Technical and Vocational Education (FCTVE) for this year\u2019s Human Resource Development Council (HRDC) career fair .<\/b><\/p>\n

HRDC chief executive officer, Professor Alinah Segobye told a press conference yesterday that the three-day career fair would equip learners with comprehensive information about potential career paths and provide them with career counselling so that they would be able to make informed decisions about tertiary education and future careers.<\/p>\n

Prof. Segobye revealed that in this year\u2019s career fair, HRDC had introduced new programmes, including indigenous skills workshops, offering young people the opportunity to learn from practitioners in the creative industries.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is important to nurture talent in creative fields to support both emerging and established tourism businesses,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Again, she said the career fair was helpful because it guided high school graduates through the process of selecting the right institution for tertiary education<\/p>\n

\u201cIn addition, the fair features a makeathon aimed at cultivating skills in aerotech, robotics, engineering, and technology-driven skills for the 4th Industrial Revolution,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Prof. Segobye emphasised the importance of such skills in Botswana\u2019s economic development as the country strived to achieve higher income status.<\/p>\n

She said the career fair would facilitate interactions between learners and mentors, enabling young individuals to receive guidance and support in making informed career choices.<\/p>\n

She also said the event further endeavoured to bridge the gap between Botswana\u2019s education system and the evolving demands of the labour market.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt aims to align training programmes with the dynamic needs of the workforce,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the second fair would be held in Gaborone from March 19 to 22 and admission is free for all students and members of the public.<\/p>\n
