Dr. Beatha Ndinelao Kapolo has been reappointed as Centre Manager of Nakayale Vocational Training Centre (VTC), making her one of the few women to lead a public vocational training centre in Namibia.
The Namibia Training Authority (NTA) said Dr. Kapolo’s appointment comes at a critical time as Nakayale VTC is set to transition into a fully-fledged TVET college.
“Both the NTA and the Centre are confident that Dr. Kapolo will drive this transformation with distinction and integrity,” the NTA said.
Dr. Kapolo has over 21 years of experience in education, with more than ten years in the technical and vocational sector.
She holds a PhD in Education Policy Studies, a Master’s degree in Education, and a second Master’s degree in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET).
She previously played a key role in the development of Nakayale VTC, working alongside the current NTA CEO, Erick Fundula Nenghwanya, to expand the Centre’s programmes from two qualifications to diploma level.
She also introduced blended distance learning at Nakayale, making it the first public VTC in Namibia to successfully offer this model.
Dr. Kapolo is trained in ISO 9001 and ISO 45001 quality management systems, with experience in ensuring compliance, performance, and workplace safety.
Before her return, she served as Head of the Human Resource Development Centre at NamWater, where she focused on workforce training in water, sanitation, and renewable energy.
Her return to Nakayale VTC is seen as a step forward for the Centre’s growth and for female leadership in the vocational training sector.
