Young people from across Namibia will meet at a major energy summit next month. The second Youth Oil and Gas Summit happens July 25 and 26 at Walvis Bay Town Hall. Justina Erastus created the event to help youth enter the energy business. The summit aims to give young Namibians important skills and connections. Leaders want to prepare youth for jobs that could change the country.
The program teaches technical skills through hands-on workshops. Students learn about petroleum engineering and earth science. Energy law and shipping classes help with business knowledge. Helena Ngaifiwa works as the summit contact person. She says the event builds real skills rather than just talking about ideas.
Energy company leaders will speak at panel discussions. Young people can network with government officials and business partners. The summit emphasizes starting new companies and local business growth. Organizers want Namibians to create their businesses within the energy field. These connections could lead to actual job opportunities.
Namibia recently found oil offshore and could become a major producer. The summit supports the country's plan to develop local talent for energy work. Officials want young Namibians leading technical jobs and business decisions. The energy sector offers many career paths for motivated youth. All 14 regions can send participants to the summit.
Anyone interested or already working with oil and gas can attend. The event welcomes students and young professionals from different backgrounds. Erastus believes young people will drive Namibia's energy future forward.
