Bank Windhoek, NUST, B360 To Prepare Graduates For Job Market

After hosting a successful career development workshop earlier this year, Bank Windhoek has again partnered with the Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST) and B360 Education Partnerships.

The three institutions will host NUST graduates for two one-week career development workshops, scheduled to take place on Monday, 8 July, until Friday, 19 July, in Windhoek.

Aimed at coaching graduates on how to prepare themselves for possible employment in a highly competitive job environment, workshops will expose the students to skills and knowledge related to preparing for interviews and drawing up a curriculum vitae, motivational letter writing, organisational structure introduction, ethics and governance in addition to business skills, amongst others.

“The graduates we hosted earlier this year welcomed the initiative as they received training on professional job interview preparedness, convincing application documentation, basic understanding of business functions, project planning and management skills,” Bank Windhoek’s human resources business partner manager, Retuura Ballotti, said.

“We will share similar knowledge with the expected attendees. As a responsible corporate citizen, this is Bank Windhoek’s commitment of adding value in the communities in which we operate, especially the Namibian youth.”

The career development workshops will be facilitated by Switzerland-based B360 Education Partnerships, a non-governmental organisation comprising a pool of professionals in numerous disciplines such as business management, civil engineering, communication, economics, finance and accounting, human resources, journalism, marketing, mechanical engineering, small medium enterprises (SME) development and other career fields.

The invited experts, who have proven experience in lecturing and training at an international level, will also share their subject-matter and business-based knowledge and expertise with public and private sector organisations in southern Africa and Europe. They will expose the graduates to tailor-made assignments in the form of round tables and workshops.
