If you are a young, hard-working Motswana looking to make an impactful career choice, engineering should be at the top of your list.
Engineering professionals are essential for our society
to function, develop and move forward.
Let’s take a closer look at what this career can give you.
Strong remuneration packages
‘Qualified engineering professionals are in possession of rare, high-value skills which are always in demand in both the public and private sector,’ says Engineers Registration Board (ERB) CEO, Dennis Olaotse.
For this reason, engineers enjoy above-average compensation throughout the industry’s many diverse disciplines.
‘If you want a sustainable career with both salary and growth potential, find your niche as an engineering professional,’ he encourages.
Variety and growth
Engineering offers more diversity than any other career.
‘Industrial. Mechanical. Civil. Chemical. Biomedical. Mining. Aeronautical. The list goes on. Engineering is a mind-blowing industry because of its diversity,’ explains Olaotse.
‘This profession offers so many opportunities to challenge yourself and contribute to society, which is one of the reasons why engineers the world over enjoy higher job satisfaction than many of their peers in other industries.’
In every field, professional engineers are respected for the value they create.
Olaotse explains that the best way to authenticate your status and make your mark after graduation is to register with ERB.
Career mobility
‘By law, every practicing engineer in Botswana must be registered with ERB,’ emphasises Olaotse.
But this registration process has a value beyond Botswana’s borders. After all, qualified engineers are in demand the world over.
‘If you have set your gaze outside the country, your registration with ERB will be taken into account by recruiters as an expression of your education, experience, skills, commitment to the highest ethical standards — and overall competence level,’ he explains.
