Four hundred youths operating in oil and gas fields have benefitted from the PetroFund flagship programme.

The programme is aimed at imparting skills to Namibians to allow them to venture into the sector and not rely on international expertise.

The Petroleum Training and Education Fund (PETROFUND) has awarded scholarships to 13 trainees enrolled in electrical and boilermaking technical training programmes at the Namibian Institute of Mining and Technology's (NIMT) southern campus in Keetmanshoop, aiming to help them secure meaningful employment.
