Youth Empowerment Centre Project by Shirley Segokgo for Skills and Motivation | Botswana

This project aims to empower youth, particularly addressing issues such as youth unemployment, by equipping them with front office and software call center skills. Participants will gain computer skills, practical applications, access to motivational courses, and exposure to systems aligned with youth interests. The project includes career guidance counseling and a supportive environment for learning. Key resources needed include computers, networking facilities, and trained personnel. The project targets out-of-school, primarily unemployed youth, and will collaborate with organizations such as the Botswana National Youth Council and government ministries. The envisioned Youth Empowerment Centre will offer a computer network laboratory, presentation equipment, and a dedicated team. Located in a pilot site, likely peri-urban or rural, the centre will cater to youth who lack access to internet cafes. Collaboration and support from various government departments and stakeholders will be crucial for the success of this initiative.
