Written by About The Fellowship
AFYEL is a six-month, no-cost fellowship that trains early-career professionals across four renewable energy technologies and pairs classroom learning with a one-month internship, a capstone project addressing a real local energy problem, and a virtual summit connecting fellows with mentors and industry leaders from across the continent.
The fellowship is run by the Renewable Energy Technology Training Institute (RETTI), through RETTI Virtual University, in partnership with government agencies, academic institutions, and private sector companies working across Africa’s energy value chain.
AFYEL exists because the renewable energy sector in Africa needs a trained, capable workforce faster than universities alone can produce. Close to 600 million Africans still lack reliable access to electricity. Closing that gap means giving young engineers, economists, and finance professionals the technical and commercial skills the sector runs on, and keeping that talent working on African energy problems.
