The Skills Expo
Namibia's biggest vocational education and training exhibition.
A first of its kind in Namibia, the Skills Expo will become an annual platform where industry role players and reputable training institutions can collaborate in informing young Namibians about technical and vocational career options open to them.
Taking place at the Ramatex Complex in Windhoek from the 25 - 27 February 2015, the event is a result of a partnership between the Namibia Training Authority (NTA) and Namibia Careers Expo.
