Regional Energy Apprenticeship Programme

The CCREEE, under the CARICOM Secretariat Energy Unit’s Regional Energy Apprenticeship Programme (REAP), is pleased to recruit three (3) qualified and motivated interns to join its team.

The purpose of the REAP is to provide a framework through which recent graduates and university students from diverse academic backgrounds may be assigned to respective regional institutions in the sustainable energy sector - in this case, the CCREEE - to enhance their educational experience through practical work assignments. It allows the selected candidates to gain insight into the work of the institutions and provides assistance and training in professional fields that are either related to or can directly support the promotion and deployment of sustainable energy technologies and applications within CARICOM.

The CCREEE is currently recruiting interns for the following positions:

• Energy Systems Engineer Intern (Demand-Side)
