The Government of Canada announced the Canada-CARICOM Skills Training for the Green Economy (CCSTGE) Scholarships program in 2020. The program provides students from the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) member states with short-term exchange opportunities at publicly funded Canadian colleges and institutes. The scholarships support college-level students in programs or disciplines linked to the green economy, or with elements related to sustainability, combating environmental degradation, and/or regenerative practices. This could include, but is not limited to: climate-smart agriculture, sustainable culinary practices, renewable energy, and sustainable building techniques, among others.

The Canada-CARICOM Skills Training for the Green Economy Scholarships is a Short-term Exchange Program under Global Affairs Canada’s International Scholarships Program.
