This initiative offers temporary employment for people who qualify and will be taking place over two phases: 9th to 20th December, 2024, and 6th to 18th January, 2025.
The NiCE Project will see people engaging in community enhancement projects that contribute to the improvement of local infrastructure, public spaces, and the environment. Specifically, it provides Caymanians with short-term employment focused on community betterment projects, including roadside maintenance, beach cleaning, and support for public facilities. Participants gain valuable work experience while making a meaningful impact in the Cayman Islands. Online registration opens on 15th November and closes on 21st November, 2024.

“It is a call to action for Caymanians to come together and make a positive impact on our communities,” he said. “This initiative allows participants to gain valuable work experience while fostering a sense of pride and ownership in the beautiful Cayman Islands. I encourage all eligible individuals to join us in this worthwhile effort to improve and maintain our public spaces."
