Through this initiative, we aim to equip young graduates with hands-on experience and expose them to a diverse work environment, enabling them to excel in their careers and contribute significantly to our society.”
To ensure the graduates thrive in the dynamic environment of Old Mutual Namibia, each has been thoughtfully placed within various departments of the organisation. This strategic approach aims to enable them to leverage their academic knowledge while acquiring new and valuable skills, setting them up for an enriching career ahead.
Toini Muteka, Old Mutual Namibia’s Human Capital Executive, highlighted the company’s sense of responsibility toward the nation’s youth.
“Thousands of talented graduates find themselves without exposure to the working world. As a responsible corporate citizen, we are committed to bridging this gap by providing 17 graduates with hands-on experience and the chance to put their knowledge into practice. This opportunity allows them to discover their true potential and explore diverse career paths within the working world,” she said.
Muteka expressed her delight in extending this opportunity to young Namibian graduates.
“As corporates, it is our responsibility to offer new graduates a glimpse of the professional work environment and contribute to the development of local talent. Today is a proud day for Old Mutual Namibia as we warmly welcome these promising young talents,” she concluded.
