The Namibian College for Open Learning (NAMCOL) Regional Branch in Rundu hosted a two-day career fair for high school learners from the two Kavango regions.

The career fair offers an opportunity for learners to decide what exactly they want to pursue after high school.

The two-day fair is expected to attract learners from 16 schools, where they will have the opportunity to engage with 11 exhibitors.

The exhibitors are from various academic institutions, including VTCs and health training institutions, among others.

The Student counsellor at NAMCOL says the career fair is the perfect opportunity for learners to seek guidance.

NAMCOL's Director, Heroldt Murangi, re-emphasised the importance of the TVET sector and its potential to grow local economies.

"TVET is so important, but it's being underestimated and undervalued in our country. It's important for you to engage with all those institutions offering skill-related courses. Look into careers that will empower us to create jobs and employ others."
