The NIRO Career Guidance and University Readiness Conference 2024 is taking place in Windhoek. Learners, teachers, parents, exhibitors, and industry representatives gathered under the theme “Embracing Future Skills.” Discussions focused on career guidance, motivations, and future skills.
Green Enterprise Solutions (Green) sponsored the NIRO Career Guidance and University Readiness Conference. Green reaffirmed its commitment to providing Namibian learners with ICT skills and knowledge and its desire to positively contribute to halting the widening digital divide.
With a focus on opportunities in emerging markets like Green Hydrogen and the recent discoveries of oil, in Namibia, the Conference provided learners with information through presentations that empowered them to better understand and realize their options.
Kehad Snydewel, Managing Director of Green Enterprise Solutions, highlighted the importance of digital literacy, stating, “We need to act with real urgency and ensure the ‘digital divide’ isn’t widened any further in comparison to other countries. It all starts with education, especially in light of the economic transformation that Namibia is on the cusp of.”
As the world’s educational landscape changes, Green is dedicated to supporting academic excellence and equipping learners for success within the ICT industry in Namibia and beyond.
At the conference, an exciting exhibition area gave learners access to useful tools and networking opportunities. Through these discussions, learners and teachers engaged with professionals in their field and learned about present developments, career paths, and opportunities.
The NIRO Academy’s Director, Roadine Willemse, expressed her happiness with the increased number of learners attending the conference’s second edition.
