This morning, President Nangolo Mbumba is inaugurating the Khorixas Vocational Training Centre in the Kunene Region. Approximately 100 trainees and staff members are expected to start occupying the various workshops and classrooms, as a start. Among the courses being offered at the VTC are air conditioning and refrigeration, plumbing and pipe fitting, bricklaying and plastering, and joinery and cabinet-making. Construction of the centre started in 2018, but it was delayed by the challenges brought by the outbreak of COVID-19.

President @DrNangoloMbumba arrives in Khorixas for the inauguration of the #KhorixasVocationalTrainingCentre in the Kunene Region.

Statement by His Excellency Nangolo Mbumba, President of the Republic of Namibia on the Occasion of the Inauguration of Khorixas Vocational Training Centre. Khorixas Kunene Region August 7, 2024 Ladies and Gentlemen, 1. I am deeply honoured to have been invited to the Kunene Region to officiate at this historic occasion, marking the inauguration of the Khorixas Vocational Training Centre (KVTC), here in the beautiful town of Khorixas. 2. Allow me from the onset, to pay tribute to the late Dr. Nickey Iyambo, the 1st Vice President of our country, and my predecessor, who visited Khorixas many years ago, and heard the cry of the community for assistance. During the visit, at a Town Hall meeting, the community of Khorixas including the youth, elders and women, made a concerted plea for economic upliftment stating that the town was dying after several Government ministries were moved to Opuwo, the regional capital of Kunene. 3. Dr Iyambo, asked himself what he could do to respond to the plea and consulted widely until the idea of reviving the old Braunfels Agricultural High School into this new Khorixas Vocational Training Centre took root. He tabled this to our late President Dr. Hage G. Geingob and Cabinet, and they endorsed it with much enthusiasm. The Honourable Dr. Itah Murangi Kandjii, who is with us here today and was also part of that historic visit, will attest how, Dr. Iyambo tasked her to ensure that the necessary where availed and that everything possible was done to make this VTC a reality. In this regard, we also thank Gaob Dr. Justus //Garoeb and his traditional leaders who gave their full support for the establishment of the VTC in Khorixas. 4. Therefore, in honour of the blessed memory of Dr Nickey Iyambo, and may his Beautiful Soul Rest in Peace, I will now ask that we all rise for a minute of silence! ​Thank You ​Ladies and gentlemen, 5. The inauguration of this Centre is a clear testimony to our Government’s unwavering commitment and resolve to construct Vocational Training Centres (VTCs) in all 14 regions of Namibia. 6. Government, through the Ministry of Higher Education, Technology and Innovation (MHETI), in collaboration with the Namibia Training Authority (NTA), has developed a comprehensive Technical, Vocational Education and Training Transformation and Expansion Strategy (TVET-TES), aimed at broadening access to technical and vocational training services countrywide. 7. According to the International Labour Organisation (ILO), by 2030, the global workforce will increase to 3.5 billion people. However, it is expected that there will be an undersupply of up to 40 million highly skilled workers with a projected surplus of 90 million low- and medium-skilled workers who do not have any tertiary qualifications. 8. We believe that by providing practical training that is aligned with industry needs, we are ensuring that every Namibian has access to quality vocational training that equips them with relevant skills necessary for today’s job market. This initiative will empower our youth to become job creators rather than mere job seekers. ​Director of Ceremonies; 9. In line with Vision 2030, we aspire to transform Namibia into a knowledge-based economy. The Khorixas Vocational Training Centre embodies this vision by offering programmes that promote innovation and entrepreneurship among our youth. We envision a future where every Namibian has access to quality vocational training that empowers them to realise their full potential. 10. While government initiatives are crucial, I urge private institutions to join hands with Government through collaboration including internships and job placements for graduates from the KVTC. Such a partnership will ensure that we meet the diverse needs of our economy while providing ample opportunities for our young people.
