Namibia Wildlife Resorts (NWR) has been honoured with the prestigious Institute of People Management (IPM) Award for its exceptional commitment to recruiting and nurturing young talents in the hospitality industry.

Presently, NWR has approximately 100 students on its roster, all of whom are gaining invaluable industry exposure and hands-on experience, according to NWR spokesperson Nelson Ashipala.

According to NWR, the award ceremony, which recognised NWR for recruiting the highest number of students and interns, took place on 19 September in Swakopmund.



Lasting value

Ashipala said NWR has long been dedicated to creating lasting value for society by providing students and interns with invaluable market experience within the field of hospitality.

“Beyond its core operations, NWR manages two dedicated hospitality institutes at Gross Barmen in Okahandja and Khorixas.”

Ashipala said the institutes have not only produced industry-ready professionals but have also played a pivotal role in bolstering the tourism and hospitality sectors of Namibia.

“In addition to nurturing talent within its own institutes, NWR extends its commitment to the broader community by engaging students from various educational institutions.”

Ashipala expressed his delight upon receiving this prestigious award.

"An award of this magnitude truly excites us, as it serves as a testament to our unwavering dedication to nurturing the next generation of hospitality professionals. We believe that investing in young talent is pivotal for the growth of our industry and the nation as a whole.”

He said this recognition reaffirms that they are on the right path and that they are committed to continuing our efforts in this direction.

“NWR remains committed to its mission of not only providing world-class hospitality services but also serving as a beacon of opportunity for aspiring individuals seeking to embark on a rewarding career in the hospitality and tourism industry," he added.
