The Career Growth Passport Employability Initiative

Botho University offers a unique employability initiative called the Career Growth Passport (CGP). The Career Growth Passport targets students from first year onwards and acts like an employability journal supporting them to complete various tasks throughout their program of study to attain key employability skills as outlined in our Botho Graduate Profile (BGP). The Career Growth Passport is being piloted in our Botswana and Lesotho Campuses at the moment. The hope is to roll out the Career Growth Passport to all campuses in the near future.

All Botho University students who purchase the Career Growth Passport (CGP) from the Student and Alumni Affairs Department (SAAD) and achieve the maximum scores for completing all their yearly bucket list tasks are eligible for lots of exciting professional development benefits. The Career Growth Passport is an exciting and new initiative of Botho University to motivate students to develop their employability profile, journal their progress, and stay on track.

Students who achieve high scores on their Career Growth Passport become “exclusively eligible” for fantastic professional development opportunities. Students have to show their Career Growth Passport completed with all yearly tasks and signed off by a valid member of the SAAD along with their ID to avail of these benefits.
