Namibia is entering a new energy era. Lelo Energies is building a Youth Talent & Volunteer Program that will prepare hundreds of young Namibians to step into that future—skilled, confident, and ready to lead. We are inviting partners and sponsors to help shape and grow this national talent pipeline.

WHY?

By partnering with Lelo Energies on this program, you position your organisation at the heart of Namibia’s future energy workforce.

You can:

  • Shape the next generation of talent by influencing the skills, values, and experiences of motivated young people entering the sector.
  • Align with national priorities on local content, youth employment, and inclusive growth, with a program that is explicitly designed to integrate into policy and institutional structures by 2029.
  • Strengthen your brand and relationships with youth, communities, government, and other stakeholders through visible, sustained engagement in a respected national initiative.

    Whether you are an energy operator, a service company, a government actor, a university, or a development partner, this is a platform that connects your strategic objectives with real outcomes on the ground.

WHAT?

Partner and sponsor contributions power the elements that make this program high‑quality and high‑impact:

 

  • World‑class youth experiences: launch events, national and regional gatherings, webinars, and practical training that connect young people to real projects, mentors, and opportunities.
  • Strong youth leadership: structured pathways and recognition for Tier 2–4 volunteers who lead teams, run activities, and become ambassadors for the sector.
  • Robust systems and coordination: a dedicated Program Coordinator, regional support, a volunteer management platform, and data and evaluation systems that ensure professionalism and accountability.
  • National reach and visibility: communications, media, and partnerships that take the program beyond Windhoek into multiple towns and communities, online and offline.
This is not about isolated sponsorships; it is about co‑creating a coherent, multi‑year youth and talent platform.
