A handful of small business owners are getting free
consultations from University College of the Cayman Islands (UCCI)
business students.
Atlantic Supply Ltd, Chatterbox, Kelly Holding Ltd, Swim &
Trim Ltd and Ted Green Fragrances are taking part in the Student
Consulting Programme, a joint initiative between UCCI and the
Department of Commerce and Investment (DCI). Cayman National Bank
is sponsoring the programme, in order to cover expenses incurred by
the students as part of their consultancy.
DCI Business Services Officer Thais Ducent said the initiative
has been successful.
'This partnership between the public and private sector, and
the resulting investment of resources, is a key factor in bringing
about this programme', Mrs Ducent said. 'Now in its seventh
year, we are continuing to build on this success and students'
entrepreneurial development. We are proud to boost the local small
business community through this programme'.
