Enter emerging industries like renewable energy and meteorology as the government invests in tomorrow’s opportunities.
Niccolo P. Small Meteorology Cadet Programme
The Niccolo P. Small Meteorology Cadet Programme, launched in 2023, gives young Bahamians hands-on experience in weather forecasting, instrumentation, and climate science through the Department of Meteorology. The programme builds local capacity in meteorology and promotes STEM careers critical to national resilience and disaster preparedness.
Each annual cohort trains aspiring meteorologists through classroom learning and field exposure. To date, 40 Bahamians have completed the programme, with two graduates now employed in the Department of Meteorology and others pursuing studies through scholarship opportunities.
Who Can Apply:
Students with a strong interest or aptitude in science, technology, engineering, or meteorology.
