Under the theme “staying relevant in a changing world’, The International Training College Lingua (ITCL) held its graduation ceremony on 24 May in Windhoek and the event saw a number of graduates ready to be sent out to the working world.
The college awarded the students with qualifications in the fields of accounting and finance, business administration, human resource management, office administration, information technology and travel and tourism.
Ingrid Kloppers-Mettler, founder and managing director of the institution congratulated the graduates for their hard work and remarked that they made the school proud. “However, I want all of you here to remember that your hard work does not end here. You have to continue educating yourselves to make sure you stay relevant,” she said.
Kloppers-Mettler made reference to the theme of the day and tasked her graduates to always make sure they keep up with the ever-changing world. “What does it mean to stay relevant? It means you have to make sure you matter. The only way to do this is to keep reading and gather new information no matter what where you end up. You do not have to wait for universities and colleges to educate you,” she said.
She concluded by thanking all the parents for supporting their children through their educational journey and said the college’s success is a result of their combined effort with the directors and entire Lingua community together.
Raimo Naanda, deputy permanent secretary of the ministry of higher education applauded the college for cultivating a culture of entrepreneurship amongst their students. “It is important we groom job creators instead of job seekers. We need to make sure that all of our graduates are provided an equal opportunity to make a change within their community. If we have more job creators than seekers, we will have a thriving country,” he said.
