Namibia Wildlife Resorts (NWR) has announced the arrival of 100 apprentices from the Intercultural Relations Foundation in Germany who will be joining its team to enhance maintenance and skill transfer efforts in the hospitality sector.

This exceptional partnership embodies the close ties between the two nations and their mutual commitment to fostering cultural exchange and sustainable development, NWR spokesperson Nelson Ashipala said.

Led by Joachim Keferstein, the delegation of German apprentices with vocational and technical expertise are scheduled to arrive in Namibia in three groups, with the first having landed on 26 October.

The second group will follow in November, and the final group is set to arrive in February 2024.

Ashipala explained that the apprentices will be distributed across multiple NWR resorts throughout Namibia, where they will contribute with their expertise to maintenance operations, “while also benefitting from the insight of our highly skilled local staff”.

“We are excited about this relationship with the Intercultural Relations Foundation. Skills transfer is of paramount importance to our industry, and this collaboration offers a unique opportunity for us to learn from our German partners as they, in turn, gain from our distinctive experiences.”



Enduring partnership

The collaboration symbolises the ongoing commitment of both Namibia and Germany to promote international cooperation and intercultural exchange, fostering mutual understanding and long-lasting relationships, Ashipala said. He added that it is testament to the "enduring partnership between our nations and the shared vision of progress and collaboration".

“NWR eagerly anticipates this partnership's positive impact on our organisation and the broader community. We look forward to deepening our relationship with Germany.

"We are confident that this initiative will contribute significantly to the enhancement of our maintenance staff's skills, promoting a sustainable and prosperous future.”
