I have found that the rhythm between hard work and educational qualifications bears
the fruits for a successful career. – Chantell Husselmann, Tax leader: PwC Namibia
Chantell Husselmann - The PwC Business School has started the year 2020 on a high
note with a special occasion that marks the first of its kind for PwC Namibia, symbolising
the formation of unity between the educational sector and the private sector in Namibia.
This is a unity unity whereby the PwC Namibia Business School takes hands with the
Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST), in order to narrow the gap
between theoretical knowledge and practical experience required in the workplace.
The late Nelson Mandela once said “education remains the most powerful weapon which
you can use to change the world”.
Platform
At PwC, we strive to continuously make a difference and our PwC Business School
provides a platform for our in-house professionals to invest their knowledge and

With the dire situation currently being faced by our Namibian economy in relation to
graduates being unemployed, largely due to a lack of professional skills required in the
workplace, the reality for most of our graduates is that accountants are appointed in
administrative positions, human science graduates are employed as receptionists … and
so the list continues.
Successful contribution
Over the years, I have found that the rhythm between hard work and educational
qualifications bears the fruits for a successful career.
With this joint business relationship we aim to train those at tertiary level on what it
takes to be a professional in the workplace and to also train those in the workplace on
re-imagining the possibilities of advancing their qualifications.
We believe that the joint business relationship of the PwC Business School and NUST can
make a successful contribution towards skills enhancement and lead to an accelerated
uptake of local graduates in the Namibian workforce.
