 The BWYJF stemmed from a genuine desire to take an active stance against the lack of Youth Jobs in the Botswana market. The organizers took a practical, solution-orientated initiative in tackling youth unemployment and poverty eradication through an exhibition of employers, recruiters, service providers and institutions to meet with prospective employees, youth seeking jobs and entrepreneurship opportunities.
