• Digital marketing: Businesses will need social media managers, content creators, and SEO specialists to reach global audiences.

For students, this means internship opportunities, work placements, and part-time jobs to gain hands-on experience in a growing industry. With Botswana’s focus on education and training, you’ll also have access to new courses tailored to meet BPO industry demands.
