Graduates urged to become job creators

Gobabis Vocational Training Centre graduates have been urged to create jobs, rather than merely seek employment, by using their skills to establish businesses and contribute to Namibia’s economic development.

The call was made by Deputy National Assembly Speaker Phillipus Katamelo at the centre’s graduation ceremony in Gobabis on Thursday, as GVTC marked its 10th anniversary. Graduates were encouraged to embrace entrepreneurship, take pride in technical careers and use their qualifications to address community needs, with practical training projects such as school-shoe production demonstrating the potential to turn skills into sustainable businesses
