THE Namibia Wildlife Resorts (NWR) has been honoured with an Institute of People Management (IPM) award for its commitment to recruiting and nurturing young talents in the hospitality industry.
The award ceremony, which recognised NWR for recruiting the highest number of students and interns, took place last week at Swakopmund.
NWR is dedicated to creating lasting value for society by giving students and interns invaluable market experience in hospitality. Besides its core operations, NWR manages two hospitality institutes at Gross Barmen at Okahandja and Khorixas.
These institutions have not only produced industry-ready professionals but have also played a pivotal role in bolstering the tourism and hospitality sector of Namibia.
Nelson Ashipala, NWR’s spokesperson, said: “An award of this magnitude truly excites us, as it serves as a testament to our unwavering dedication to nurturing the next generation of hospitality professionals. We believe that investing in young talent is pivotal for the growth of our industry and the nation as a whole. This recognition reaffirms that we are on the right path and we are committed to continuing our efforts in this direction.
“NWR remains committed to its mission of not only providing world-class hospitality services but also serving as a beacon of opportunity for aspiring individuals seeking to embark on a rewarding career in the hospitality and tourism industry,” he said.
In addition to nurturing talent within its own institutes, NWR extends its commitment to the broader community by engaging students from various educational institutions. Presently, NWR has approximately 100 students on its roster, all of whom are gaining invaluable industry exposure and hands-on experience.
