Cayman: Maples Group mentors award-winning High School students in Young Entrepreneur Programme
George
Town, Grand Cayman
| Twelve Maples Group employees
volunteered as business mentors to local high school students in the
2018 / 2019 Junior Achievement programme.
During
the 18 week programme, local high school students formed small
businesses, created and produced their own products with the
assistance of corporate volunteers who act as business mentors and
advisors. The students elect a president and vice president and form
a board of directors.
CayHome
Creations was one of the companies formed under the guidance of
Maples Group volunteers. They proudly collected four awards at the
2018 / 2019 Junior Achievement awards ceremony held at the Grand
Cayman Marriott Beach Resort. For
their products, CayHome Creations developed holiday wreaths and a
variety of cooking herbs in hand decorated planter jars which were
sold at various venues, including Red Sky at Night and the annual
Agriculture Show.
CayHome
Creations won the following awards:
President of the Year (Ciara Bradley)
Most Promising Female Achiever (Danielle
Bryan)
1st Runner-up Vice President of Finance
(Hannah Welcome)
1st Runner-up Vice President of Marketing

"The
Junior Achievement programme provides a fun opportunity for students
to experience running a small business and learn practical business
concepts, such as marketing, budgeting and collegiality,"
commented Ashley Watler, of the Maples Group and an advisor for
CayHome Creations. "The Maples Group would like to congratulate
all Junior Achievement participants in this year's programme and
commend CayHome Creations and the individual award recipients on
their recognition at the Junior Achievement Awards evening."
