The expansion of secondary and tertiary school systems has also created a problem of unemployed school leavers. The growth of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), globalization and the digital divide likewise, have together put new pressures on developing countries to accelerate their development to meet these demands. This paper reports the results of a survey that sought to assess levels of eLearning readiness, applications and trainee requirements in Botswana’s private sector. Such baseline data can inform policymakers and researchers and promote the transformation required of private sector companies to become learning organizations. The findings suggested that eLearning readiness (eReadiness) levels were moderate to low, and that archaic technology (i. e. , overhead projection) was used by more than half of the private sector organizations for training (with far less than half using digital eLearning applications) . While the overall findings suggested low levels of eLearning readiness, applications and trainee requirements in Botswana’s private sector, seventy percent of trainers reported that their organizations encouraged them to acquire basic computer skills to facilitate eLearning. The current eLearning situation in Botswana, and the literature reviewed, demonstrates that the integration of ICTs in both developing and developed countries was a gradual process. Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) have expedited the change process in developed countries. However, several limitations are associated with such partnerships and this renders lessons for developing countries to emulate.  \nRésumé  \nLa croissance et la modernisation rapides des économies des pays en voie de  \n[http://madlib.athabascau.ca/cjlt/index.php/cjlt/rt/printerFriendly/511/241](http://madlib.athabascau.ca/cjlt/index.php/cjlt/rt/printerFriendly/511/241)  \nNleya Page 2 of 19  \ndéveloppement comme le Botswana créent des demandes nouvelles et non  \nsatisfaites pour certains types de main-d’œuvre instruite et qualifiée. L’expansion  \ndes systèmes d’enseignement secondaires et tertiaires a également créé un  \nproblème de chômage chez les jeunes sortant de l’école. La croissance des  \ntechnologies de l’information et de la communication (TIC) ainsi que  \nl’accroissement de la mondialisation et du fossé numérique ont ensemble  \nengendré de nouvelles pressions sur les pays en voie de développement afin de  \nrépondre à ces demandes. Le présent article provient d’un sondage qui visait à  \névaluer les niveaux de maturité pour l’apprentissage en ligne, les applications  \ninformatiques et les besoins de formation en ligne des stagiaires dans le secteur  \nprivé au Botswana. De telles données de base peuvent informer les décideurs et  \nles chercheurs et promouvoir la transformation nécessaire des entreprises du  \nsecteur privé afin qu’elles deviennent des entreprises du savoir. Les résultats  \nsuggèrent que les niveaux de maturité pour l’apprentissage en ligne (maturité  \nélectronique) sont modérés à faibles et que des technologies archaïques (par  \nexemple, des rétroprojecteurs) étaient utilisées par plus de la moitié des  \norganismes du secteur privé pour la formation (et beaucoup moins de la moitié  \nutilisaient des applications numériques pour l’apprentissage en ligne) .
