About Botswana Public Service College

The Botswana Public Service College (BPSC) was established by Presidential Directive No 13/2008 which establishes the BPSC within the Government mainstream under the Directorate of Public Service Management (DPSM), Ministry of State President. BPSC started operating in 2010 and it exists primarily to provide capacity building for the Botswana Public Service. The establishment of the College reflects an appreciation of the peculiarities, dynamism, demands and complexities of the modern Public Service. Whereas public officers may have the required technical skills, they often do not have the essential leadership and management competencies and other soft skills that they need to operate effectively at different levels within the Public Service, hence the BPSC.
