However, Namibia faces a number of youth development challenges, and such challenges require interventions of qualified and skilled youth development personnel. The demand for qualified personnel is particularly high in the government sectors (Ministries and Departments of Gender, Youth, Health, etc.), community-based organisations (Churches, NGOs, CBOs, etc.). The programme will aid most government and non-governmental projects in new areas, while building and strengthening the assets of young people, and emphasising the strengths, abilities and potential of youth. Hence, the NAMCOL is introducing a specialised qualification at Master programme pitched at NQF level 9 to contribute to increased educational attainment at the stated level.<\/p><p>This programme aims to develop qualified Youth and Community workers who can demonstrate skills for employment and future learning and have attributes valued by employers within the specific youth and community work workforce and wider related settings; this includes the ability to undertake primary research and evaluation into areas of professional practice, using a wide range of approaches and evidence<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8f0192d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8f0192d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Objectives and Target Groups <\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b91f952 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b91f952\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The overall objective of the programme is therefore to develop qualified workers who can demonstrate skills for employment and future learning and, have attributes valued by employers within the specific youth and community work workforce and wider related settings; this includes the ability to undertake primary research and evaluation into areas of professional practice, using a wide range of approaches and evidence.<br \/>Therefore, the programme is designed to:<br \/>\u2022 equip students with a sophisticated understanding of the place of social sciences in the professional and applied contexts of youth and community development practices;<br \/>\u2022 develop questioning, creative intellectuals with competencies to assess and evaluate evolving models of practice and synergies in youth and community work;<br \/>\u2022 produce youth and community workers with employable knowledge, skills, and values that reflect best and innovative practices in complex situations;<br \/>\u2022 produce experts capable of promoting youth and community development and advance monitoring and evaluation research in the area; and<br \/>\u2022 build professional capacity particularly for the Namibian economy, since there are limited qualified professionals in the field of youth and community development in the country.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3825324 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3825324\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Course open for<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b93927f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b93927f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The Master programme is an opportunity for graduates of the Bachelor of Arts in Youth and Community Development.
