The Cayman Islands Coast Guard has commenced a historic training programme for its first class of recruits.
After a rigorous summer recruitment drive which began in July 2020 and saw over 300 applications from Caymanians across all three islands, 16 recruits were selected to undergo training to become the Caymans Islands’ first Coast Guard (CICG) Recruits.
The class of 16 Caymanians, six of whom are female, will undergo a series of intense training sessions over a period of eight weeks.
The overall programme is comprised of academic, physical and water-based training to equip recruits with the necessary engineering tools, maritime law enforcement training and search and rescue skills. Throughout this process, the recruits will be evaluated based on sustainability and skills.
