Connecting local talent with opportunities within The Special Economic Zones

Thank you for your interest in the Enterprise Cayman Mentorship and Work Placement programmes! 

Cayman Enterprise City (CEC) is providing Caymanians and residents the opportunity of quality career experiences with industry professionals who are set up within the special economic zones. Industry leaders will provide participants with the tools and confidence they need to achieve both professional goals and secure influential connections within chosen industry sectors. The Work Placement programme is open to Caymanians and residents of the Cayman Islands within the age 25 + and lasts for one to two months. The Mentorship Programme is also open to Caymanians and residents of all ages. It can last anywhere from one "pep-talk" session to 6-month placements where you meet with the mentee or mentor once a month.

Some placements will take place with Cayman Enterprise City (the development company) and others will take place within companies who are part of the three special economic zones, which include: Cayman Tech City, Cayman Commodities & Derivatives City, and Cayman Maritime & Aviation City.

To participate, we ask that you complete this 20-40-minute survey so that we can better assist in matching you with a potential placement. Once a match has been made, successful candidates will be invited to come in for an interview with CEC and/or the zone organisation. Please note that your answers submitted in this survey will be shared with participating zone companies. We will do our very best to match everyone who applies but cannot guarantee that all applicants will be successful.
