Held for the first time in Botswana, the conference took place at the BAC main campus attracting participants from various industries in the country over the four days. The primary purpose is to assemble researchers in the area of social sciences and humanities, who by presentation of their scientific attainments contribute to the development of the interdisciplinary concept.
“We need to encourage multiple platforms like the ICSH as this is rewarding to our industries, students communities, and the nation at large and those in the labour force. We strive to provide a forum for constant international dialogue and consensus among key stakeholders on all matters relating to human resource development. We additionally wish to continue to promote knowledge management, knowledge exchange, research and benchmarking at enterprise and national levels to improve the effectiveness of human resource development, primarily amongst the young upcoming professionals and those still in school.” said Molutsi.
By partnering with other institutions on such instrumental events, BAC demonstrates its dedication to equipping their student community and academic pool with valuable resources and opportunities as it focuses on its vision to transform into a university. The event supports and promotes the open access policy by publication of its scientific discoveries. The scientific explorations obtained by this conference will be published in the international scientific journal, European Scientific Journal (ESJ), and on its website, accessible for free to the entire academic audience.
“BAC has strategically partnered with this international institution to position Botswana as a knowledge based society that responds to the economic needs and concerns of the world.
We continuously make efforts to host such international dialogues that foster an opportunity to stimulate a culture of training and lifelong learning and sharing of knowledge to Batswana, to improve employability of the labour force and increase productivity. This should prove worthwhile to all who attended,” said Michael Lesolle BAC executive Director.
