Emerging bankers in the spotlight

BANK Windhoek, through the Capricorn Foundation, is addressing Namibia’s youth unemployment rate through an 18-month emerging bankers programme that helps young people transition from education to work.

in 2024 with an initial N$1-million investment, the programme provides structured learning and hands-on branch experience, with a focus on rural and underserved communities.

The foundation has since committed an additional N$3.24 million to expand the initiative and recruit 15 new emerging bankers.

From Aranos to Oshikango, emerging bankers are learning the business from the ground up, serving customers and rotating across departments.

Aged between 19 and 25, though their academic paths and interests differ, the cohort shares one aim: to build capability and earn trust through integrity, service and measurable impact.
