The inaugural participants for the Afrox Leadership Academy were announced yesterday at a media conference held at Delta Secondary School in Windhoek.

The Afrox Leadership Academy is a programme designed to equip young people to realise a new world of possibilities. Afrox Namibia commissioned research to identify the best possible methods to intervene in skills development and poverty eradication.

The creation of the leadership academy is also aimed at providing opportunities to young people and seeks to contribute to the development of the nation. The academy will host 16 grade 10 learners chosen from Delta Secondary School Windhoek, Eldorado Secondary School and Hage Geingob Secondary School and will run over a period of six months.

The programme will cover a one-week leadership training camp, followed by active engagement in community projects for which they will receive mentorship and assistance to help make the project sustainable.

The Africa Leadership Institute will facilitate the programme at Rock Lodge and the training will cover a range of topics such as career guidance, performance and results, service delivery, basic etiquette, project management and many more.
