For the past several weeks, 35 young Barbadians have been getting a behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to keep the country powered.

Through The Barbados Light & Power Company Ltd.’s (BLPC’s) summer internship program, they traded classrooms for control rooms, textbooks for hands-on experience, and curiosity for real-world insights as they worked alongside the teams that keep electricity flowing to homes, businesses, and communities across the island.

This program continues to attract strong interest from young people eager to explore career opportunities, develop practical skills, and learn from experienced professionals. Reflecting on his own journey, Vice President, Innovation & Transformation, Munesh Parasram, encouraged interns to make the most of the experience, “An internship helped me discover my path and showed me what was possible. We’re proud to provide that same opportunity for the next generation.”
