Ndjuluwa97 Academy hosted a career exchange programme on 5 October at Acacia High School. The academy provides extra classes, tutoring and homework assistance to young learners. The hall of the school was full of eager faces from various high schools.

Speaking at the event, Ndapandula Mbangula, a librarian at the University of Namibia (Unam), had an information session with the learners.

It was an interactive session as learners shared what they want to become as well as their thoughts on what they understand about what a career is. “When pursuing a career, make sure you are passionate - do not go for the money.”

The academy further prepares learners for their futures through soft-skill training and career guidance and national examinations and facilitates the application process to higher learning institutions.



Dress up

The learners dressed up as their future careers on the specific day and brought along any materials or tools that could enhance or add value to their profession. Learners were expected to come prepared and ready to learn from the experienced professionals. This career exchange event intends to guide, nurture, inspire and give more clarity on career choices.

Another speaker, Elize Alukelaus, an audit trainee at Deloitte, also shared her two cents about the profession. When asked whether you need to take accounting in high school to pursue the career, Alukelaus said: “You do not necessarily have to have it as a subject in school; all you need is to have perseverance, focus and be determined to complete your studies.”

While motivating the learners, she added that it took her seven years of hard work to complete her studies.



More to offer

Ndjuluwa97 Academy headmistress Elivi Shinedima said they provide afternoon classes which include extra lessons, subject assistance and private tutoring.

“Free computer classes, sports and after-care are included, as well as extra assistance for all after-school registered learners. We also organise museum and university tours, plus other extramural activities for our young learners.”
