The textile industry is operating under a difficult environment

The Textile and Clothing Institute of Botswana (TCIB) that was established last year to close the skills gap in the textiles and clothing sector is said to be underused.

TCIB founder, Mohammad Ghafoor said the reason for this is that the Department of Tertiary Education Financing (DTEF) stopped sponsoring students to study for certificate courses.

Accredited by the Botswana Qualifications Authority (BQA), he said the institution currently offers one-year certificate courses in cutting, embroidery, sewing, garment assembly, design and pattern making, commercial sewing skills and clothing manufacture.
