Namvoc hosts first graduation ceremony

Enzo Amuele Namvoc vocational training institute held its first-ever graduation ceremony at Okakakara on 1 October.The vocational school began operations in 2015 and has since graduated over 60 students in the many trades that the institute teaches.As a vocational training institution, Namvoc's vision, according to board chairman Wylie Uupi, is to make a difference in individuals and industry through its organised vocational programmes.“I stand before you today with a clear conscience that our vision has not been altered, nor has the quality of the programmes diminished since the institution's inception,” he said.Uupi went on to say that Namvoc has prepared, polished, and sharpened young graduates to go out and make a difference in society, and he encouraged them to be Namvoc ambassadors and put their knowledge and skills to good use.Uupi also praised Namvoc's employees for their dedication and hard work.“Like any production, there is a great dedication behind the scenes, especially in what has been an extraordinarily hard year, both professionally and personally, for the staff.”According to James Uerika, governor of the Otjozondjupa Region, the institution's founders have made a significant difference not only at Okakarara but throughout the country.“My dear graduates, the essential problem is that you may not know what the future holds, but you may walk out here today with your qualification, which is a guarantee in life. It's up to each of us to make a difference,” he said.Uerika challenged the graduates to set an example for their classmates in order to ensure that vocational training leads to success.“Go out there and apply the skills and knowledge you have gained throughout your training, create employment, be the change in your community that you have always wanted to see,” he said.Amon Ngavetene, the board chair of the Namibia Training Authority, said while some people regard Namvoc as a profit-making organisation, it is one of the most important players in the market when it comes to delivering vocational training.“It is time for us as a nation to focus on providing skills and training to the youth,” he said. “As we move towards the fourth industrial revolution, the importance of vocational institutions on the development of any nation is evident,” he added.Fredricks Kamundu, a bricklayer and plasterer graduate, expressed his delight and thanked Namvoc for the wonderful idea.“I congratulate Namvoc leadership in making this day possible; the journey was not easy, but we made it,” he said.
