THE Region Three Chamber of Commerce and Industry (R3CCI) will be launching its Youth Arm, with an inaugural Region Three Business and Youth Meetup, the first gathering of the Region Three Senior and Junior Chambers.

This event is slated for November 01, 2025, from 12:30hrs, at the West Central Mall, Leonora.

President of the R3CCI, Bhabita Albert, during a recent certification ceremony in Region Three at the Leonora Technical and Vocational Centre, stated that since the announcement of its Youth Arm, they have received over 250 applications from youths between the ages of 16 to 30.

The Chamber invites applicants as well as persons interested in being a part of the Youth Arm.

According to Albert, the plan for the Youth Arm is to group individuals who have similar mindsets/ interests, with a focus on programmes targetting specific areas.

The Chamber is also working along with international organisations that are currently preparing a number of memoranda of understanding. These will be ready to be signed in a matter of months and are centred around software management systems and AI mapping programmes.

“These programmes will not just enable you to learn about what’s happening in the technological world, but it will also give you an opportunity to earn in the future, especially for the software management systems because many businesses are moving towards efficiency and using technology to become efficient,” Albert said.

Moreover, she invited persons to be a part of the development, and to interact with entrepreneurs, executive directors and many other members of the R3CCI.
