WINDHOEK, KHOMAS, NAMIBIA, July 12, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- RDJ Consulting (www.rdjconsulting.co.za) renewed its Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) with the Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST) for intake of Work Integrated Learning (WIL) students. The successful partnership, which began in 2019, continues to pave the way for future leaders, offering invaluable hands-on experience and bridging the gap between academia and industry.

At RDJ Consulting, students will have the invaluable chance to apply their theoretical knowledge in real-world settings, supported by mentorship, training, and exposure to industry best practices we believe in nurturing the next generation of talent, providing them with a platform to thrive, innovate, and make meaningful contributions to their chosen fields. Our internship program serves as an opportunity for students and recent graduates to immerse themselves in a dynamic, real-world environment where they can apply their knowledge, refine their skills, and explore their passions under the guidance of seasoned professionals.

For over eight years now, RDJ Consulting has proudly hosted interns through our annual internship program, dedicated to providing invaluable hands-on experience and fostering the next generation of professionals. We've welcomed both undergraduate and postgraduate students from various universities across Namibia, neighbouring African countries, and beyond. Our interns have pursued qualifications in Economics, Statistics, Mathematics, Journalism, Communication, Media Studies, Graphic Design, Computer Studies, Environmental Studies, Policy, Logistics, and more.

After signing the MoA, Dr. Erling Kavita, Executive Director: Academic Development and Support, and Satellite Campuses expressed enthusiasm, stating, “I am happy to learn that this is from 2019 and you are still interested. We are very happy, and we will not fail to return the favour”. He was further pleased to know that RDJ serves as a board member of a NUST qualifications committee since 2020 and that it has played a significant role in providing support for bridging the gap between academic qualifications and the job market. Meanwhile Ms. Chilombo Priscila – RDJ’s Internship Manager and Group Executive Operation emphasized that “RDJ Consulting looks forward to having an even more active collaboration with NUST through the updated MoA, which will see more activities done for the benefit of the students and both institutions in this post-covid era”.

The partnership, will continue to offer NUST student’s opportunities to work alongside seasoned professionals at RDJ Consulting, providing them with a platform to apply their academic knowledge in real-world settings.
