Windhoek Vocational Training Centre (WVTC) has received a boost to improve its studies and develop skills.

This follows a donation of two vehicles by Metje & Ziegler to be used in the field of auto mechanics, as well as equipment by the Social Security Commission for the welding field of study.

The Chief Executive Officer of the Social Security Commission, Milka Mungunda, said it is important for stakeholders to hold hands and invest in those studying TVET. 

She urged the students to take their studies seriously, as the skills acquired through the training can help them build a better Namibia and contribute to the economy. 

The equipment is further deemed as a significant investment for the youth in the future to enhance socio-economic growth while curbing the high unemployment rate in the country.

Khomas Governor Sam Nujoma highlighted that the vehicles will provide hands-on experience that aligns with industry standards and prepares the students for real-world challenges.

The governor highlighted that collaborative efforts such as these will empower students to become the skilled workforce that Namibia needs to achieve the targets of NDP6.
