Shortage of skilled workers in Germany?
Trainees from Namibia!
Today's Namibian-German relations are stable, sustainable and characterised by open dialogue, and cultural and scientific relations are broad-based. The topic of green hydrogen has put Namibia on the agenda for investors and companies from German-speaking countries. And with about 120,000 German tourists a year, Namibia is a well-known, popular and safe destination. In the capital Windhoek alone, with a population of about 450,000, there are 10 schools offering German as a language, while the number of German university partnerships with local universities is steadily increasing.
However, there are currently few opportunities for school leavers to pursue non-academic training, and the local vocational training market is poorly positioned in this respect. At the same time, more and more German companies are having excellent experiences with Namibian apprentices - but until now there has been a lack of opportunities to get to know each other, explaining various perspectives and offer guidance. Therefore, the Goethe-Institut Namibia, with the support of the German Embassy, is offering an Apprenticeship Fair on 21 & 22 April to give German companies the opportunity to present themselves to Namibian school leavers.
