Belize City is poised to become a hub for sustainable economic education with the establishment of the country’s first Center for Blue and Green Economy. Located at ITVET Belize City, the project is a collaborative effort between the Government of Belize and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), with an investment of nearly two million dollars. The initiative aims to transform an existing structure into a state-of-the-art training facility, equipping Belizeans with the skills needed for emerging job markets in sustainability and environmental management. The groundbreaking ceremony, held on October 23, 2025, marked the official start of this transformative project. Minister of Education Oscar Requena highlighted the center’s focus on preparing young people, particularly women, for careers in renewable energy, marine resource management, and sustainable construction. The facility will feature advanced laboratories, including a GIS lab and an engineering lab, and will be designed to meet green building certification standards. IDB Country Representative Karla Gonzalez emphasized the center’s role in addressing skill gaps and fostering innovation in education. This project is part of a broader government strategy to enhance technical and vocational training across Belize, contributing to national development and economic resilience.
