MTC gave bursaries to the value of N$700,000 to 19 Namibians of which four are undergraduate students at the Polytechnic studying Telecommunications and Electronic Engineering, while the remainder are employees of MTC who benefit from the internal bursary programme to help them with advanced studies in various fields.
Dirk Eigub, MTC’s NMTQ Administrator who is a previous bursary holder advised the recipients to get out of their comfort zones and that there is no limit to getting better. Tim Ekandjo, MTC’s Chief Human Capital & Corporate Affairs Officer advised the bursary receipts not to become arrogant and forget where they come from when they start making money after completing their studies. He encouraged them to stay humble and make a difference in the community. To date all the students that have completed the programme have received full-time employment contracts with MTC, ensuring that home grown talents assist in the procurement of skills to enable the people to contribute to the success of Namibia.
