Dundee launches training programme
Dundee and NIMT have partnered to launch an education programme for learners with vocational skills.
Dundee Precious Metals Tsumeb and the Namibian Institute of Mining and Technology (NIMT) launched a new education programme on Friday.
As part of the company's commitment to provide essential training to the Namibian youth, Dundee came up with the idea of helping learners with vocational skills to fulfil their dreams of obtaining an N1 level certificate upon completion of secondary school.
The educational programme is aimed at addressing the country's need for qualified and skilled individuals.
Oshikoto regional director of education Lameck Kathindi congratulated Dundee and NIMT on a collaboration she described as an impeccable education programme. Nghipondoka further applauded Dundee for its contribution to the Namibian education sector.
The management team of Dundee under the leadership of Zebra Kasete was further applauded for their continued and unwavering support towards initiatives that are aligned with the national agenda. “Your role as the biggest employer in Oshikoto Region and your indiscriminate approach to poverty alleviation is nothing less than commendable, and Dundee is indeed a friend of education,” said Nghipondoka.
Also speaking at the event, vice-president and managing director of Dundee Precious Metals Tsumeb Zebra Kasete warned against the pitfalls of not investing in the nation's youth. “A nation that does not take care of its youth has no future,” he said. Kasete urged the first 30 learners selected for the programme to grab the opportunity with both hands.
Kasete encouraged the nation to accept the digital industrial revolution and urged the youth to be prepared to operate in that space.
