‘Atlega’ Mentorship Session Empowers Botswana’s Youth with Real-World Career Insights. Young professionals, students, and aspiring entrepreneurs gathered for an energising mentorship session under the ‘Atlega’ Mentorship Series, hosted in collaboration with ABM University College. The event, held yesterday, offered a platform for open dialogue, practical guidance, and motivation for youth preparing to step into the world of work or entrepreneurship.

The session attracted a diverse group of participants, including recent graduates, tertiary-bound students, jobseekers, and young business owners, all eager to connect with industry mentors and gain clarity on their personal and professional journeys.

Seasoned mentors from various sectors shared their career paths, lessons in resilience, and insights on navigating Botswana’s evolving economic landscape. Conversations touched on the realities of job hunting, building sustainable businesses, and maintaining motivation in the face of uncertainty.

Organisers emphasized that the Atlega platform is not just about inspiration—it is about practical mentorship that bridges the gap between academic learning and market demands. Through peer learning and mentor feedback, participants left with actionable knowledge and a renewed sense of direction.

For Botswana’s growing entrepreneurial ecosystem, events like these help build networks, foster confidence, and support the development of future-ready talent. Local businesses and employers are also encouraged to support mentorship and skills development initiatives that contribute to a stronger, more prepared workforce.

In a message of appreciation, organisers thanked ABM University College for its partnership, and the mentors who took time to invest in the next generation. The success of the session reinforces the importance of regular engagements that empower youth to take charge of their futures.
