Roles and Demand in Botswana
Microsoft Project skills are in demand wherever Botswana runs complex, schedule-driven work: diamond and coal mining, civil construction, power and water infrastructure, and public sector programmes. As Debswana expands underground operations and the National Development Plan funds new infrastructure, employers need planners and managers who can build reliable schedules, level resources and report progress in the software. Hands-on Microsoft Project training builds exactly these skills. Here is what the market looks like right now.

Practical Scheduling Skills for the Job
This Microsoft Project training builds real, applied capability across the full project lifecycle. By the end you can create a project from scratch, schedule and link tasks, assign and balance resources, set baselines, track progress and report on projects with confidence.
Create a project file, configure calendars and working time, enter tasks, build the work breakdown structure with summary tasks and milestones, and set realistic durations.
Create Finish-to-Start and other dependencies with lag and lead time, apply constraints and deadlines, and read the critical path to protect the dates that matter most.
Set up work, material and cost resources, assign them to tasks, identify over-allocation, and use resource levelling to keep workloads realistic and achievable.
Set baselines, record actual progress with percent complete, use the Tracking Gantt, and analyse schedule variance to keep projects moving in the right direction.
Set cost baselines, track actual costs, and calculate Earned Value metrics such as SPI, CPI and EAC to report project health clearly to stakeholders at the Advanced level.
Build custom views, tables and visual reports, and consolidate subprojects into a master project for programme-level scheduling and reporting at the Advanced level.
