Regional Upscaling Platform for Vocational Excellence (PoVE) – Southern Africa

The Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST Namibia), in collaboration with Stellenbosch University, hosted a Regional Upscaling Platform for Vocational Excellence (PoVE) workshop under the ACEWATER III initiative.

The engagement brought together stakeholders from academia, industry, water utilities, and the renewable energy sector to strengthen coordination on skills development and align training with evolving labour market needs.

Through the ACEWATER III Project, NUST is contributing to the establishment of a Centre of Vocational Excellence, positioning vocational education as a strategic and future-focused career pathway within the water and energy sectors.

This marks an important step towards building a coordinated, industry-responsive ecosystem for skills development in Namibia and the region.

The research and capacity development activities are undertaken within the framework of the ACEWATER III project, which is funded by the European Commission.
