Energy Revolution Generates Jobs in Cuba

Havana

The energy revolution underway in Cuba has created over 5,300 new jobs throughout the island since 2005.

This initiative, besides contributing to the efficiency of power generation, has given the opportunity to a large number of workers to attain higher technical qualifications, reports Trabajadores newspaper.

According to the director of the National Electricity Union's Human Resources Department, Nancy Torres Fernandez, the increase of the labor force was indispensable for the installation of the new power-generating plants.

Director of the National Electricity Union's school, Lucia Perez, highlighted the role of this educational institution where some 2,600 students graduated in 2006 -one thousand more than the previous year.

The 4-month courses are open to Havana residents and include the training of team leaders and power-generating plants operators.
