Karpowership has launched a new Internship and Trainee Programme designed to provide young Guyanese with practical exposure to the power generation industry while supporting the development of a skilled local workforce.
The initiative reflects Karpowership’s continued commitment to investing in Guyana by creating opportunities for students and young professionals to gain first-hand experience in a modern power generation environment.
Participants will engage in structured learning activities including site visits, introductory sessions on power plant operations, safety awareness training and job shadowing alongside experienced engineering and operations professionals. The programme is designed to complement academic learning by providing participants with valuable insight into industry best practices, operational excellence and the importance of safe, reliable power generation.
Speaking on behalf of Karpowership, Ms. Beyza Özdemir, Americas Regional Director of Commercial Operations said “Karpowership believes that developing local talent is essential to supporting Guyana’s long-term growth. Through this programme, we hope to inspire the next generation of engineers, technicians and energy professionals while providing meaningful exposure to one of the country’s most critical industries.”
Structured as an educational initiative, the programme focuses on observation, learning and professional development rather than operational responsibilities, ensuring participants gain practical industry knowledge within a supervised learning environment.
The programme forms part of Karpowership’s broader commitment to community engagement and capacity building in Guyana, complementing the company’s ongoing support for education, skills development and youth empowerment initiatives.
As Guyana’s energy sector continues to evolve, Karpowership remains committed to partnering with local stakeholders to help develop the skilled workforce that will support the country’s future energy needs and continued economic development.
