It is essential to challenge these misconceptions and recognise the value of TVET in today\u2019s society,\u201d she emphasised.<\/p>\n<p>\/Goagoses said the only way to overcome these stereotypes is through education and awareness.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy highlighting successful individuals who have excelled in their chosen TVET fields, and we can showcase the diverse range of opportunities available, can help dispel the notion that TVET is limited in scope or lacks prestige,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n<p>The deputy minister mentioned that in today\u2019s rapidly changing world, traditional academic qualifications alone are no longer sufficient.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEmployers seek individuals who possess both theoretical knowledge and practical skills. Vocational education bridges the gap by offering specialised training in various fields,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\/Goagoses maintained that it is important to celebrate vocational education in shaping the future of the youth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVocational education equips young individuals with practical skills, which are essential for their personal and professional growth. It provides them with opportunities to explore various career paths, develop technical skills and expertise, and gain hands-on experience,\u201d she observed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/namibia\">Namibia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Namibia.
