In the Power-to-X (PtX) industry, job opportunities span across the entire value chain but also professionals in overarching workfields (e.g. in governments or agencies for health and safety) need to know about PtX concepts. Skills development is key to equip Namibians with the necessary knowledge, expertise, and skills to participate in the PtX industry, ultimately enhancing employability.
The newly launched study
- sheds light on the specific skills required by the PtX sector, including technical, scientific, and managerial capabilities.
- identifies the gaps and barriers that currently impede Namibians from accessing employment opportunities within the PtX sector.
- proposes recommendations to bridge the identified skills gaps, fostering the employability of Namibians in the country’s growing hydrogen and PtX economy.
It was conducted by the Renewables Academy AG (RENAC) in collaboration with the Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST) under the umbrella of the International PtX Hub.
