• The Global Apprenticeship Network (GAN Global)
The GAN Global empowers people and businesses by promoting and advocating for the uptake of work-based learning including apprenticeships, as a way to address the mismatch between the skills people have and the skills employers need.
Their goal is to accelerate the acquisition of skills and capabilities of all segments of the workforce and build a robust talent pipeline for business that can match the pace of change in the world of work.
They currently have membership in 16 countries – 3 of which are in Africa including Namibia.
The Namibian network (Link to GAN Namibia tab) was launched in 2018 and has since played a pivotal role in the re-introduction of the National Apprenticeship Programme.
