MSRT

Facilitating matches for students seeking 'hands-on' industry work experience and organisations and employers seeking eager, entrepreneurially inclined students to work for and with them. 

Project Objectives:
The MSRT Project focuses on improving higher education in developing countries; ensuring graduates meet the requirements of the job market, contribute to economic development and counteract the lack of work readiness that has been experienced.

Through university-enterprise-cooperation projects with the participation of German and Namibian industry are able to benchmark international best practice. Local companies like Olthaver & List and Adforce  gives students the ‘hands-on’ experience that all employers demand from their potential employees thereby contributing to the relevance of work integrated learning being promoted and the process of turning knowledge into skills becomes a reality.
