Happy International Youth Day!

International Youth Day highlights the role of young people in advancing cooperation through technology and partnerships. Across communities, institutions and industries, the youth continue to bring new ways of thinking, connecting and solving challenges. Let us continue supporting their access to skills, opportunities and platforms that enable them to contribute meaningfully to a more connected and collaborative future.

Today we had the pleasure of welcoming Mr Fluksman Samuehl, the Chairperson of the Public Enterprises CEO Forum, for a courtesy engagement with our CEO, Mr Erick Fundula Nenghwanya.

Discussions focused on the NTA’s important role in national development through responsive skills development, as well as opportunities for greater collaboration among public enterprises. Mr Samuehl also highlighted emerging economic opportunities around Namibia's southern coastal areas and the need to ensure that vocational skills development keeps pace with the country’s growth and future workforce needs.

The engagement comes at an important time for Namibia’s public enterprise sector, following President Dr Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah’s recent engagement with public enterprise leaders and her call for institutions to strengthen delivery, accountability and collaboration in advancing national development. Reflecting on the President’s message, Mr Samuehl described the NTA as a key institution in Namibia’s development and stressed that collaboration among public enterprises is essential if institutions are to deliver greater collective impact.

Mr Nenghwanya reaffirmed the NTA’s commitment to working with fellow public enterprises and other partners to develop the skills Namibia needs for sustainable economic growth.

We strengthened Namibia’s international TVET partnerships today through the signing of Memoranda of Understanding with Nanjing Zhongxing Xinyada Information Technology Co., Ltd. of the People’s Republic of China and ORBIT TVET College of the Republic of South Africa, with further collaboration intended with Hunan Industry Polytechnic, also of China.

This milestone is a key outcome of the NEV TVET Hub initiative, which actively pursued strategic partnerships to support the digitalisation, modernisation and internationalisation of TVET in Namibia. Through the initiative, Nakayale Vocational Training Centre - NVTC, Eenhana Vocational Training Centre and Valombola Vocational Training Centre - VVTC (NEV) sought to leverage their collective strengths and establish partnerships that can create opportunities for curriculum development and benchmarking, trainer and trainee exchanges, research and innovation, entrepreneurship development, skills competitions and exposure to emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotics, programming, electronics and digital innovation.

The NEV TVET Hub brings together centres with strong areas of specialisation, particularly in ICT, electronics and automotive technology, while providing a platform for collaboration, resource sharing, specialisation and institutional excellence. These partnerships demonstrate the value of TVET institutions identifying international partners, mobilising opportunities and connecting global expertise with Namibia’s skills development priorities. This also aligns with the broader national agenda to modernise and digitalise TVET and ensure that our institutions are equipped to respond to the rapidly changing world of work.

As our CEO, Mr Erick Fundula Nenghwanya, emphasised at the signing ceremony in Windhoek: “The question before us is therefore not whether TVET should change, but whether it can change and modernise quickly enough to prepare our young people for opportunities that are already emerging.”

For the NTA, these partnerships represent an opportunity to turn institutional initiative and international collaboration into skills, innovation, digital transformation, employment opportunities and tangible value for young Namibians and the economy. More importantly, they demonstrate what can be achieved when TVET institutions take collective responsibility for shaping partnerships that advance Namibia’s TVET modernisation agenda.
