HAINA creates employability, entrepreneurship in ICT

Speaking during the HAINA launch in Gaborone recently, Professor Frank Youngman said the launch marked an important day for tertiary education in the country as it marked the formal beginning of a partnership between Huawei Technologies Botswana and the Botswana Open University (BOU).

“Last month, the Chancellor of BOU, Dr Ponatshego Kedikilwe said in his inaugural acceptance speech that there was need for tertiary institutions to maintain balance between the pursuit of knowledge for its own sake and the need to provide relevant programmes for employability and entrepreneurship. I believe that the specialised academy we are launching today will certainly enhance BOU’s contribution to employability and entrepreneurship by training industry-certified professionals for the ICT sector,” he said.
