From Potential to Opportunity

Lehikeng’s Internship Programme connects young people with businesses willing to provide practical workplace experience and a pathway toward employment.
 Through partnerships with employers across Botswana, we help participants move from preparation and training into real working environments where they can develop skills, confidence and professional experience.

Bridging the Gap Into Employment

For many young people, one of the hardest parts of starting a career is getting the first opportunity.

Employers need experience, but young people need an opportunity in order to gain that experience.

Helping Young People Take Their First Step Into the Workplace

Lehikeng works to bridge that gap.

We prepare participants for workplace environments and work with partner organisations to identify suitable internship placements.

Through these opportunities, participants can gain:

  • Practical workplace experience
  • Professional communication skills
  • Exposure to workplace expectations
  • Mentorship and guidance
  • Stronger CVs and references
  • Greater confidence entering the job market
  • Potential pathways into permanent employment
