Green inducts 25 students to create ICT professionals

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.

It has been found that many Namibian tertiary students have limited options when it comes to internship opportunities – even though it is an academic requirement during their final year of studies before obtaining their respective qualifications. 
This is one of the reasons that over the past 10 years to date, Green has hosted a number of students from the Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST), University of Namibia (Unam), International University of Management (IUM) and Lingua College. The duration of Green internships is between three to six months or longer, depending on the internship guide and requirements, as well as performance of the interns.

At the week-long induction session this week, Green’s managing director Kehad Snydewel highlighted that as a Namibian company, it is important to actively participate in this programme. He cautioned that lack of such programmes will result in inadequate local resources to contribute to national development, specifically as Namibia strives to become a knowledge-based society.
