In December 2024, our consortium has won the tender for ‘Technical Assistance to Support the Namibian Training Authority (NTA) in improving the TVET offer related to the Green Transition’. This is a 2-year project. The objective of the consultancy is to provide technical assistance (TA) services and technical support measures to the NTA to equip Namibian workers in the formal and informal sectors of the economy, including women, youth, persons with disabilities (PWDs) and marginalised communities with the relevant skills and qualifications necessary to participate in the green energy transition. For this it is essential to increase the capacity of the Namibian TVET Authority (NTA) and to strengthen partnerships between NTA, industry stakeholders and relevant government offices, ministries and agencies (OMAs) for green skills development; to align TVET courses offerings with green industry needs and market demand; and to enhance employability and job placement. This entails i.a. developing new green energy competency standards, training of trainers, the setting up of a National Task Force, the signing of Memorandum of Understanding between private companies and training institutions, and the initiation of apprenticeships for the green energy sector.
