2016 BOTSWANA JOB SUMMITcontinued In years gone by, we have toiled with the industry on a number of different projects in which the aim was to improve the skills development of students. BAC works hand in hand with LEA and some of the projects between the two organisations are still on going, which attempt to test the students’ knowledge and skills by giving practical and innovative solutions to enterprises that already exist in the industry. Partnerships such as these have many benefits as they develop the students’ industry skills, and ensuring that the graduates have the entrepreneurial skills to start an enterprise and create jobs for the country which will solve the problem of unemployment. One other important benefit of this partnership is that it enable the SMME’s to develop which will too provide a solution of unemployment. BAC has other partnerships with international universities, which means being able to provide qualifications that are internationally recognized. The key is for our students have a global perspective of the world and help them become global thinkers by providing a stimulating curriculum content, and not only regulating them to tapping into the international practices, proficiency and trends in the education delivery. When discussions about employability become extant, the view that BAC takes is that global enterprises become an opportunity for students to find employment and partner with these organisations which is the main reason why we provide quality internationally recognized qualifications and graduates. To ensure that we improve and maintain the close relations that we have with the employers which will be beneficial to the students, BAC has relationships with enterprises in various sectors who absorb some of the best performing students. Entrepreneurship being a major aspect in creating job opportunities is being integrated in the programs that are offered in our curriculum as we intend to build a nation that can be eradicated of unemployment. Students get to do various projects that will enable them to test their entrepreneurial skill. The projects aim is to produce graduates that will be innovative as well as increase their employability. International partnerships that have been created are helping the graduates to have a chance in changing the global landscape especially because in today’s day and age, the global opportunities are the ones that are changing the corporate world as we know it. There is a systematic way in which as an institution where issues of employability are addressed to the students through the duration of their study. We help students realise that knowledge on its own will not be enough for them to be retained in the job market but that innovative thinking and creativity are vital aspects in that regard. BAC aims to be an institution that symbolises itself with excellence in academic relevance, as well as quality the quality of the qualifications. A vote of thanks should be sent out to our industry partners for their support and their ever present commitment in the fight to eradicate unemployment and creating a world of global and innovative thinkers. “One other important benefit of this partnership is that it enable the SMME’s to develop which will too provide a solution of unemployment.“ BAC NEWSLETTER : ISSUE 02 , 2016 | 12
“Unleashing the Entrepreneur” Business Start-Up Sponsorship As a way of giving back, Botswana Accountancy College facilitated P20 000 Business start-up sponsorship dubbed “Unleashing the Entrepreneur”. The sponsorship was awarded by RWA Group. Only unemployed BAC Alumni qualified for this sponsorship. The sponsorship initiative was brought up during the 2016 Botswana Job Summit as one of the ways aimed at eradicating the rate of unemployment in the country and give an opportunity to an unemployed youth to start a business and employment. In most instances you find that a lot of people always have brilliant ideas to start an enterprise but usually lack the financial muscle to start up this business, but having this competition was a sure way to facilitate business start-up. This was an opportunity for our alumni to showcase that they can be leaders of business as well as to showcase their innovation which is one of core values at BAC. The business that won the 2016 Unleashing the Entrepreneur sponsorship is KellyKeb’s Gardens and their prize was awarded to them during 2016 BAC Graduation. BAC NEWSLETTER : ISSUE 02 , 2016 | 13
