HRDC’S BUSINESS CONTINUITY INTERVENTIONS DURING THE GREATER GABORONE COVID -19 LEVEL THREE (3) ZONE LOCKDOWN
The Human Resource Development Council (HRDC) wishes to inform its valued Stakeholder, Customers, Clients and the general public that its office will be closed for business from the 31st July, 2020 until further notice. This decision was made in compliance with the announcement by the Presidential Task Force Team for COVID-19, that Greater Gaborone COVID-19 Zone must undergo lockdown or extreme social distancing with effect from the 30th July, 2020 midnight.
Prior to the Presidential Task Force Team for COVID – 19 Announcement, HRDC had an array of business activities planned. However, in order to comply, HRDC wishes to inform valued Stakeholders, Customers, Clients and the general public of the following business continuity interventions to ensure business is not disrupted.
All HRDC running tenders are suspended. Site visits and closing dates of all running tenders will be revised and communicated to the public after the Greater Gaborone COVID-19 Zone lockdown.
2.1 Approved Trainings
Workplaces whose trainings were approved prior to the lockdown should consider other options such as virtual platforms where possible as a way of adhering to social distancing measures.
2.2 Online Submission of Plans
Work Skills Training Plans and Annual Training Reports may be submitted online through the emails listed below.
2.3 Pre – Approval Requests
HRDC will be receiving the Pre - Approval Requests during the entire lockdown period through email.
2.4 Changes in Training Schedules
Workplaces are advised to liaise with HRDC’s Workplace Learning Unit (WPL) and where there are changes in their training schedules.
2.5 Work Place Learning Contacts
HRDC’s Stakeholders, Customers and Clients are encouraged to reach the Workplace Learning (WPL) Officers using the contact details listed below. Employers eligible to claim from the HRDF are required to submit Work Skills Training Plans (WSTP) for the Financial Year 2020/21.

In line with recommendations from the COVID-19 Task Force requiring all public events to be suspended, the Southern Botswana Human Resource Development Skills Fair and Career Clinics 2020 that was billed to take place from the 23rd – 27th March 2020 has since been cancelled. In the interest of public safety, the event will not be held this year in Gaborone.
