Tochukwu Alaekee has been a consistent and standout member of the TPS Fellowship Program. It's with great pleasure that we recognize his moving on to begin a full-time role with National Grid! We look forward to the many ways he will be advancing sustainable development in the region and can't wait to see his amazing journey continue. Thank you to Chima (Chee-ma) Anidobe (He/Him/His) and the many partners + collaborators that made this possible. Thank you also to the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center for creating opportunities for talented professionals from other industries to join the Climate-Critical workforce. More to come!
This is why I ?? my job A huge congratulations to Tochukwu—aka Tochii! Tochii was an absolute standout in our Fall CECA cohort, showing up 100%—not just in attendance, but in engagement, persistence, and drive. Over eight weeks, he embraced every opportunity to learn, connect, and grow. Through National Grid’s Clean Energy Careers Academy (CECA), we had the privilege of mentoring, sponsoring, developing, and coaching him toward this incredible career opportunity. But this journey wasn’t his alone—it took a village. From our partners at TPS to the dedicated volunteers, SMEs, mentors, and allies at National Grid, this success story is a shared victory. At National Grid, we build and develop talent. We lead. We take on big, meaningful work. And most importantly, we are family. Tochii, congratulations on accepting your offer—I can’t wait to officially welcome you to the team. See you at work! Amanda C. Downey, LLM, JD, MBA Dr. Carlene L.
