On December 11th, 2023, a momentous partnership between the Belize Natural Energy (BNE), STEM U Foundation, and St. Ignatius High School was initiated with a visit to the BNE site. This collaborative effort aimed to provide students studying welding and non-destructive testing (NDT) a unique opportunity to observe and learn from professional welders. As part of BNE's commitment to community engagement and promoting vocational programs, this partnership seeks to empower students with practical knowledge and hands-on experience.
