Namcol to introduce two new programmes
As part of its mandate to take education to the people, especially at grassroots level, Namcol will be introducing two new programmes in 2018.
Introducing its first degree course, Namcol will offer the Bachelor of Arts in Youth Development Work (BYD). The aim of the Bachelor of Arts in Youth Development Work is to provide specific competencies required for effective youth development work that will enable beginners as well as experienced practitioners to develop and refine their skills in youth work. It further aims to equip students for effective youth development work at management level.
This programme is designed to introduce and develop the discipline of youth development and accept highly interested individuals to develop their competencies within the vast youth development field. The programme is also designed to develop effective and reflective youth development practitioners capable of applying theory to practice when working with youth as well as to equip students with knowledge, attitudes, and skills and prepare them for work at management level.
This course is for the following practitioners or professionals working with youth including civil servants, community development practitioners; and youth workers and interested individuals seeking competency at degree level in youth development work.
The admission requirements are a Grade 12 with 25 points in six subjects, plus an E- symbol in English as well as anyone who has obtained the Diploma in Youth Development Work (DYD) at Namcol or any other equivalent qualification.
The second programme Namcol is introducing is the Certificate in Business and Entrepreneurship (CBE).
This course is aimed at providing entrepreneurial skills to the school leavers who are seeking academic qualifications for employment and mid-career professionals who wish to change their current career status and become entrepreneurs.
The programme targets those who are currently entrepreneurs without formal qualifications in the field.
This programme is designed to address the lack of entrepreneurship skills in the country and to support the creation and growth of sustainable small businesses by doing proper market research, business plans, product development, marketing and financial management.
The basic admission requirements for this qualification are a Grade 12 Certificate or equivalent with a minimum of 22 points on the Ministry of Education's point scale plus an E symbol in English.
Applications for Namcol's tertiary level programmes are opening on 01 June 2017 until 31 July 2017 and application forms can be obtained at any Namcol office countrywide or can be downloaded on the namcol.edu.na website.
