Okahandja learners explore their futures at Career Fair
Aune Kadhikwa
On 31 July 2025, the Otjozondjupa Regional Council hosted an exciting and educational career fair for all high schools in Okahandja. The event aimed to guide learners as they prepare for life after school and to give them a clear picture of the opportunities available to them.
The event brought together several key institutions, including NUST, UNAM, NASFAF, the Social Security Commission, and Ovitoto Vocational Training Centre. Each organisation had its own booth where representatives provided information on courses, scholarships, financial aid and skills training.
Learners were able to ask questions, collect brochures and get advice tailored to their career interests.
Teachers and school leaders praised the event, saying it gave learners an important head start in planning for their future.
“It is important that our learners are exposed to all these opportunities early on,” Mr Nuugulu said. “This helps them make better decisions about their subjects, applications and goals after Grade 12.”
The learners were enthusiastic and engaged throughout the event. Many said it was their first time meeting representatives from so many institutions in one place. “I learned so much about funding and courses I didn’t even know existed,” said Ndamwena Kandjambanga, a Grade 11 learner. “Now I feel more confident about what I want to do after Grade 12.”
The fair ended on a high note, leaving learners motivated and inspired to work harder toward their dreams.
