People from different communities of St Kitts and Nevis have completed their training in the installation of solar PV. The training programme is part of the administration’s effort to improve the technical knowledge of the youngsters.
The solar PV training will help the youngsters of the country get ready for the future as these new talents and skills will be in demand. The whole world is moving towards sustainable energy usage with solar energy taking a lead.
The skills that allow youngsters to learn about installation of a solar pane will be in demand for years to come. In the same way, the maintenance of a solar power plant will also need skilled individuals employed at the site.
As such, the administration has shared that they are working with several partners to make the event a success. The authorities have shared that this is a very bold step from the administration of St Kitts and Nevis.
The authorities have also confirmed that this step will help in advancing renewable energy and sustainable development in St Kitts and Nevis. The government had announced this development during the previous month and the training had also started back in July.
The work has been done over the course of several weeks with several youngsters finishing their training programmes. Over the last several weeks participants have received hands-on training and practical experience in solar panel installation.
The youngsters have also learned about electrical safety, and renewable energy systems which will help them in making the most of their training in their future careers. The stakeholders have shared that they are delighted with the participants dedication and hard work.
The culminated certificate presentation ceremony for the completion of the training was held on Friday, August 22.
