The Petroleum Training and Education Fund (PETROFUND) announces the unveiling of its new brand identity at inauguration of its head office building and the launch of its revamped website alongside PetroConnect, a digital CV repository system.
PETROFUND’s refreshed brand identity features two intertwined petroleum drops, symbolising strong collaboration between public and private institutions and reaffirming Namibia’s commitment to developing local expertise in the upstream petroleum sector. The rebrand reflects the Fund’s core mandate of continuous skills development and capacity building.
The upgraded website enhances public access to information and streamlines communication of opportunities in a timely and user-friendly manner. Integrated Artificial Intelligence tools such as the Petrobot chatbot and a WhatsApp helpdesk ensure prompt responses to public enquiries regarding available opportunities at the Fund.
Further strengthening its service offering, PETROFUND launched PetroConnect, a digital evolution of its CV repository system, which previously received approximately 8,500 submissions from Namibians with the skills and ambition to participate in the upstream petroleum sector.
Speaking during the launch of the rebrand and the inauguration of the PETROFUND head office in Windhoek on Tuesday, Hon. Gaudentia Kr6hne, Deputy Minister of Industries, Mines and Energy, delivering remarks on behalf of the Minister, Hon. Modestus Amutse reiterated that recent oil and gas discoveries require Namibia to take necessary and strategic actions to learn, collaborate and prepare its workforce for emerging opportunities as the country awaits critical final investment decisions from operators.
