Driven by recent hydrocarbon discoveries in Namibia’s Orange Basin between 2022 and 2024 offshore the west coast and the expansion of exploration activities, PETROFUND in collaboration with Harmattan Energy Limited, the designated operator of petroleum exploration license 90 proudly announces fully funded TVET scholarships for the 2025 academic year. These scholarships are available for boilermaking, electrical, fitting and turning courses at the Namibia Institute of Mining and Technology (NIMT), Keetmanshoop campus.

This initiative aligns with PETROFUND’s commitment to equipping Namibia’s youth with essential primary technical skills, serving as a foundation for further oil and gas upskilling. The goal is to enable young Namibians to secure employment in the country’s evolving petroleum industry.

Qualified Namibians who have passed Mathematics, Science and English at Namibia Senior Certificate Ordinary Level (NSSCO), either at the new Grade 11 or the old Grade 12 are eligible to apply for this fully paid scholarship. Applicants with the Namibia Secondary School Certificate Advanced Subsidiary (NSSCAS) at Grade 12 are also eligible. Successful candidates must be ready to commence studies in March 2025 at the NIMT Keetmanshoop campus. Applications to the NIMT Keetmanshoop campus must be submitted by 31 January 2025 at 12:00.

All scholarship applications must be submitted via PETROFUND’s online platform at https://esaspetrofund.org/login on or before 9 February 2025, accompanied by certified copies of all required documents. PETROFUND strongly encourages individuals, especially from the southern regions of Namibia to seize this opportunity.

The rapid growth of Namibia’s oil and gas industry creates a critical demand for skilled professionals in fields such as boilermaking, electrical engineering, fitting and turning. These competencies are vital for participating in petroleum exploration license holders’ ongoing exploration and appraisal campaigns.
