Lorenzo Jacobis is bringing construction and renewable energy expertise back to Guyana thanks to the Young Leaders of the Americas Initiative - YLAI in Phoenix!

"Here in Phoenix, Arizona, I'm attached to BCE Construction Inc, who specializes in civil construction and renewable energy solutions. I've had the privilege of being exposed to their work in EV charging infrastructure installations, commercial solar installations and civil infrastructural work. Working closely with them has exposed me to their business goals, practices, structure and culture, all of which aligns closely to mine, therefore giving me the opportunity to combine these best practices to enhance my operations. Additionally, I've been adding value to their organization by participating in the competitive bidding process, applying my expertise to enhance their competitiveness. In addition to BCE, I've been participating in entrepreneurial and solution pitching workshops at various organizations, one being the Arizona State University (ASU). Overall, the networking, collaboration and business growth opportunities have been very beneficial to me and my business."

Lorenzo's experience showcases the mutual benefits of the YLAI program, gaining cutting-edge knowledge in renewable energy and infrastructure while contributing valuable expertise to his U.S. host organization.

✍️Application Tip: Your Study Objective is your Roadmap

One of the most critical parts of your 2027 The Fulbright Program Application is the Study Objective. This isn’t just a summary of your past—it’s a bold statement of your future.

Our alumna, Renea Douglas explains how clarity in her goals made all the difference: "Write a clearly articulated study objective or academic goal statement. This is your opportunity to state exactly what you want to achieve. When I applied, I focused on how forensic science could change things here in Guyana.

Since my return, I’ve been gainfully employed by the Forensic Laboratory as a Science Officer, utilizing the knowledge I gained directly from my Master of Science in Forensic Studies from Syracuse University, New York."

Pro-Tip: When writing your objective, ask yourself: "How will my degree from the U.S. fill a specific gap in my home country?"
