Namibian ICT company Green Enterprise Solutions (Green) is hosting a two-week-long induction for 25 trainees from Namibian tertiary institutions. These students represent NUST, Unam, Lingua College and IUM.
The induction and the ensuing traineeship are expected to build capacity amongst the chosen students and give them real-world experience to enhance their theoretical knowledge. This induction is being conducted whilst adhering to all Covid-19 rules and regulations.
Green has created a fully-fledged programme that gives a ‘hands-on’ educational framework for interns and young Namibian professionals, providing them experience in technical and administrative ICT programmes. These include software development, infrastructure technologies, and networking and cybersecurity.
Application Deadline:9 April 2021.

Firefighters attempted to extinguish the fire that caused immense damage.
Renovating the school hall and fixing all the damage would cost about N$3 million.

Happy new season. It is the time of the year when we start talking about resolutions versus habits. If you are making plans, consider making your plans in pencil. You might perceive pencil to be a metaphor for doubt, fear or lack of confidence. The reality is, there is no life or strategic plan that is without risk.
“Etch your vision in stone, but sketch your strategy in pencil,” Steven Furtick says. One of the greatest lessons from the year just ended is the fact that there is only so much one can control or influence, regardless of how well one prepares.
