Namibia’s education system is producing graduates who are increasingly ill-prepared for the demands of the modern workplace, with industry and education leaders warning that a growing skills mismatch could hamper the country’s development ambitions.
The warning emerged during International Training College-Lingua’s first business networking breakfast held under the theme, ‘Stakeholder Engagement: Actions Leading to Smart Partnerships between Industry and Educational Institutions in Windhoek on Friday.
Delivering the keynote address on behalf of the education minister, National Council for Higher Education (NCHE) deputy executive director, Sylvia Demas said employers continue to complain about a mismatch between the skills required by the labour market and those possessed by many job seekers.
