Research
The NTA requires authoritative, reliable and comparable labour market amd industry sector intelligence to inform the development of VET provision in Namibia.
In this regard, the NTA continues to utilise industry experts as source of market intelligence through the ISCs, 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.
