2025 TRAINING PROGRAM TO PROMOTE SUSTAINABLE ENERGY TRANSITION IN LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN
The Latin American Energy Organization (OLADE) presents its 2025 Training Program to promote sustainable energy transition in Latin America and the Caribbean, which will be developed in its Energy Training Platform for Latin America and the Caribbean (CapevLAC). This initiative aims to strengthen technical capacities in both the public and private sectors of the energy sector in the region.
The program covers various topics that are crucial for the region’s energy development in five strategic lines:
Policies, Gender and Energy
Which will explore the challenges and opportunities in the energy sector, focusing on attracting investments, access to financing and energy planning. It also addresses the integration of the gender perspective in energy policies, promoting fairer and more equitable access to energy.

|
Energy Transition and Sustainable Development
Will address the main challenges and opportunities in the energy transition towards sustainable development, with a comprehensive approach that includes energy efficiency, industrial and transport decarbonization, and electromobility. Key social aspects, diversity in the energy sector, energy access gaps and the promotion of local value chains will be explored.
|
|
|
|
Energy Technologies and Solutions
Will explore the latest innovations in the energy sector, covering key technologies such as renewable energy, energy storage, geothermal and nuclear energy. Solutions for the circular economy and digitization of the sector are also discussed, along with the use of clean and new generation fuels, such as low-emission hydrogen, SAF, biodiesel and green diesel. Finally, the impact of information technologies and Big Data on the sector is addressed.

|
|
|
Critical Natural Resources and Sustainability
Will provide training in key areas such as natural gas, fossil fuels and critical minerals, addressing their extraction, transformation and decarbonization processes. Associated emissions will be analyzed along with strategies for mitigating environmental impacts and reducing emissions in oil and gas projects.
|
|
|
|
Regional Energy Integration
Will address the challenges and opportunities in regional energy integration, electricity interconnection and gas pipeline infrastructure. Key issues such as regulatory harmonization, energy exports in Latin America and the exchange of energy experiences with regions such as Africa and Asia will be explored to promote common energy agendas among countries and promote greater cooperation and efficiency in interconnected energy systems.

The courses will be taught in the different modalities allowed by the OLADE platform, i.e.: asynchronous courses (e-learning), synchronous courses (virtual and blended learning), webinars, workshops, diploma courses, among others, which will allow greater accessibility for participants from all countries in the region.
Participants who complete the requirements established in the different modalities of the program will qualify to receive the relevant certificates.
All courses are open and free of charge for participants.
WE INVITE the entire community of the regional energy sector to join capevLAC, with the objective of building solid technical teams in the sector, as well as developing an interesting network of professionals in the region.
Training Program 2024
OLADE’S EXECUTIVE TRAINING PROGRAM
YEAR 2024
ENERGY TRANSITIONS AND INTEGRATION IN LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN
Training plays a central role in OLADE’s activities and objectives, which is why, this year, it was decided to restructure both its offer and its follow-up.
Globalization and the ease of access to virtual training have increased the number of people who can train remotely and autonomously. However, this does not always guarantee quality or specific reference material for a context such as the energy sector in our region.
The proposal of this new training program offered by OLADE for the year 2024 follows a common thread with a focus on the fight against climate change, on the just energy transition that LAC must undergo, on the resources available in our region, on the technological diversity that can be implemented in our member countries and on the energy policies that are being updated to respond to this new context.
This OLADE Executive Program on Energy Transitions for Latin America and the Caribbean offers a segmented and articulated training offer that allows participants to choose their own training path with the objective of either deepening their knowledge on a particular topic or diversifying its scope.
With this premise, the cycle of courses and training was restructured and organized under 5 thematic axes, complementary to each other, which allow the audience to choose between advancing with a diverse and comprehensive vision of the energy sector, or specializing in a specific area. The selected axes are the following:
Technologies
Technologies and issues related to renewable energy, nuclear energy, clean and new generation fuels, low-emission hydrogen, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), biodiesel, and green diesel.
|
|
|
|
Just Energy Transition
Includes the challenges of energy efficiency, central social aspects such as gender equality and diversity in the region’s energy sector, heating and clean cooking, access gaps, productive linkages and the promotion of local value chains, industrial and transportation decarbonization, and electromobility.
|
|
|
|
Energy Policy
Includes attracting investments, access to financing, energy planning, and regulations in the electricity sector linked to transmission, distribution, commercialization, as well as digitalization and incorporation of Big Data in the sector.
|
|
|
|
|
Regional Energy Integration
Regional Energy Integration and its multiple dimensions and challenges in interconnected electricity systems and gas pipeline infrastructure, regulatory harmonization and common energy agendas among countries.
|
|
Hydrocarbons
Hydrocarbons and the extractive sector, including natural gas, critical minerals, fossil fuels and their transformation and decarbonization processes, associated emissions, thermal generation, and regional gas integration.
|
|
This classification will allow participants to get to know in detail the contents of the axes and to verify if they match their interests. Each of these thematic axes contains a wide variety of courses that are available on the web. In addition, each of them has an introductory module that describes the importance in the general energy context and a module of fundamental concepts of the subject under study.
In this program we have the support of our strategic partners, such as: IICA, UNIDO, BYD, Mission Innovation, U.S. Grains Council, GET.Transform, ALADI, REDESCO and Global ESCO Network.
Therefore, convinced that we will be able to distinguish a large number of participants at the end of the cycle, we invite you to visit our training site and sign up for the courses that are of interest to you, hoping that we can meet the expectations that participants place on our courses year after year.
