Every summer, the Bank offers several students the opportunity to gain on-the-job training in a range of fields. The students, chosen from local (and occasionally regional) tertiary institutions, are placed as much as possible in departments across the organisation that are related to their field of study.
Central Bank Scholarship for outstanding performance in Economics and Mathematics at the University of the West Indies. The Bank has been awarding this scholarship to Barbadian students at the Cave Hill Campus, since 1977. In addition, the successful candidate benefits from a summer internship at the Bank.
The Roland Craigwell Scholarship for outstanding performance in Economics at the University of the West Indies. The successful candidate also benefits from a summer internship at the Bank.
Each summer, the Bank sponsors a secondary school student, aged 16-18, to attend SPISE, a four-week programme for young people in the region who aspire to a career in a STEM-related field. The programme, which is sponsored by the Caribbean Science Foundation, is based on MIT’s MITES (Minority Introduction to Engineering and Science) programme.
