NovaNam introduces bursary scheme
A key focus of NovaNam has been to train and develop its people in the fields of fishing, processing, administration, management, supervision, quality assurance, engineering and nursing, to name but a few.
Thousands of people have had the benefit of these skills development opportunities over the past 27 years, both in Namibia and abroad.
NovaNam has also provided education and training opportunities for many people who were not employed by the company, but who were either from Lüderitz or the family of staff members.
To that end, it also announced the start of its bursary scheme which will be rolled out over a three-year period.
It said of its new bursary scheme: “NovaNam announces the roll-out of the NovaNam Bursary Programme, where it will start by giving N$350 000 over the next three years towards bursaries. These bursaries will in the first instance be aimed for the benefit of children of NovaNam employees, and for members of staff.”
The bursaries will be to fund tertiary studies at the Namibian University of Science and Technology and the University of Namibia.
Certain bursaries will also be for secondary schooling in Lüderitz and Walvis Bay to prepare these students for the rigours of tertiary studies.
The fields of study will be economics, mechanical engineering, human resources, biology, management and finance & administration.
NovaNam has since its inception been a sponsor of sport in Lüderitz and Namibia in one form or another.
“Besides eating fish, sport is very important for the betterment and sustaining of our good health, as well as for the development of healthy outdoor communities that we all live in.
“A particular point of pride of NovaNam is its NovaNam soccer team, which recently took the runner-up prize in the Harders Cup against all odds. It is a very special achievement to celebrate and the minister commended the company's gift of thanks and recognition of N$25 000 to the team in order for it to employ it for the even more efficient and visible running of the team as it represents NovaNam and its people going forward,” it said in a statement.
