A training programme launched in Walvis Bay is helping young Namibians acquire skills and knowledge for careers in Namibia’s growing oil and gas industry.
The programme, called RigFit, began in May this year through a partnership between Gen X Youth Leaders Training, Trinity Offshore Construction and Sheq Seventy-Four Seven Investment CC.
The initiative provides training for young people interested in working in offshore construction and other areas linked to the oil and gas sector. Participants are introduced to offshore working environments, where they learn about the career opportunities available in the industry.
Gen X Youth Leaders Training founder Inock Tawana and Trinity Offshore Construction owner Karl Mulder said the programme was established to prepare young Namibians for opportunities expected to arise from developments in the oil and gas sector.
They added that many young people are interested in the industry but have little understanding of how it operates or of the skills required to enter the field.
“We started the programme to share knowledge and experience with young people who want to build careers in the industry. We want them to understand how offshore work is done and what is expected from workers in the sector,” they said.
