462 trainees received qualifications in various technical fields at Ongwediva during a joint graduation ceremony for the Valombola, Nakayale, and Eenhana vocational training centres.

The graduation ceremony not only recognised the hard work and dedication of the students but also highlighted the significant role technical education plays in shaping the future of the country.

The graduates, adorned in their caps and gowns, represented a diverse range of technical fields, from auto electrical, carpentry, refrigeration, plumbing, and hospitality, just to mention but a few.

The Nakayale Vocational Training Centre, in collaboration with the Ministry of Mines and Energy, Namcor, Petro Fund, and the Namibia Training Authority, organised a stakeholder engagement at Nakayale VTC in the Omusati Region.

The event was held under the theme "Exploring TVET's Role in Skills Development for the Oil and Gas Industry.

It aimed at offering valuable insights into the oil and gas industry and enhancing the participants' understanding of how they can position themselves to respond effectively to Namibia's talks about the discovery of oil in the country.
