The National Youth Service (NYS) in Namibia is set to empower youth through its 2026 Technical, Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programme.
The NYS has announced that selected trainees should report to the Rietfontein Technical Centre in the Otjozondjupa Region for registration and training starting from February 2 to February 13, 2026. This initiative aligns with the NYS’s mandate to provide recognized skills training and personal development opportunities to Namibian youth.
NYS Invites Trainees for 2026 TVET Programme
The NYS’s TVET programme is designed to equip young Namibians with essential skills for the job market. The courses offered are registered with the Namibia Training Authority (NTA) and accredited by the Namibia Qualifications Authority (NQA). This ensures that the training meets national standards and enhances the employability of participants.
Selected trainees must bring their original school leaving certificates from Grade 10, 11, or 12, along with identity documents, bedding, basic eating utensils, and personal toiletries. This preparation is crucial for a smooth transition into the training environment.
