Research
The NTA requires authoritative, reliable and comparable labour market and industry sector intelligence to inform the development of VET provision in Namibia.
In this regard, the NTA continues to utilise industry experts as a source of market intelligence through the Industry Skills Committees, which oversee the development of qualifications and unit standards; identify priority areas/occupations for skills development; and analyse quality and quantity of training provision in different sectors, based on labour market intelligence.

Skills Development Plan for the TVET Sector
The 2022-2026 Skills Development Plan for the TVET Sector (SDP2) is a product of extensive research and stakeholder consultations. SDP2 represents a shared commitment to improve the country’s human capital prospects. It also outlines key training priorities and interventions to be funded through the VET Levy Key Priority Grant Funding Window.
The outcomes of a Scarce Skills Validation Survey, which was conducted in November/December 2018 and in which over 4,000 employers participated, are informing the development of the Skills Development Plan 2, to cover the period of 2022 to 2026.

TVET National Graduates Survey (Tracer Study)
Although inroads have been made in transforming the TVET system from a supply-driven to a demand-led one, there is still a significant skills mismatch from industry’s perspective. The Graduates Surveys are crucial for programmes reform which intend to improve skills mismatch and transition from school to work. These reports contain an empirical data to aid the NTA and other relevant stakeholders including the Ministry of Higher Education, Technology and Innovation (MHETI) in the delivery of its ongoing strategic endeavour to render accessible and equitable TVET services. These reports seek to validate whether the TVET qualifications are keeping track with the evolving demands of the labour market in terms of the relevance and effectiveness, thereof.
