He also attained a Leadership and Management Certificate from the University of Washington in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>With over three years of professional experience in both governmental and non-governmental sectors, Kamati said he understands firsthand the frustrations of countless unemployed graduates.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know how it feels to be rejected due to lack of experience. It is a struggle to apply for jobs with no avail. Graduates go through a lot,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He recently established a data consulting service called Jonak Data Consultants aimed at empowering businesses and organisations with data-driven solutions.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than succumbing to despair, his innovative approach involves leveraging his academic training to address critical gaps in organisational decision-making processes. His consultancy focuses on enhancing efficiency and strategic decision-making through data analytics, a niche that is poised to revolutionise the employment landscape in Namibia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI realised that many organisations struggle with making informed decisions due to inadequate data utilisation. By bridging this gap, I aim to not only provide valuable services but also create internships and employment opportunities for fellow graduates,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The data consultancy service is different from others in a way that it brings a unique combination of expertise from specifically the health and general businesses fraternity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis data consultancy is a first of its kind in Namibia. It offers and delivers unparalleled data-driven solutions that empower businesses, organisations, ministries, and institutions to thrive in the digital age and beyond. It also promotes data literacy and fosters a culture of evidence-based data decision-making across industries and also partners with ministries or any organisation to leverage data analytics for smarter decision-making, driving sustainable growth,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>Kamati currently runs the business with Johannes Nakanyala who serves as an advisor as well as a co-founder. Nakanyala is from the business systems fraternity.<\/p>\n<p>The business aims to soon employ unemployed graduates with qualifications that align with the consultancy.<\/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.
