The Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (CIMA) hosted its annual student mixer and career fair on Friday, 2 Aug.
The half-day event at the new Hotel Indigo Resort provided an interactive platform for college-bound students and young professionals to explore the importance of the financial services industry and its critical contribution to the economy and standard of living in the Cayman Islands.
The highlight of the mixer was a career fair, where students engaged face-to-face with CIMA representatives, key industry players, and potential employers in the financial services sector.
A new element this year included rolling interviews conducted by Cayman HR professionals that gave students and job seekers the opportunity to showcase their talents.
In addition, guest speakers from the financial sector shared their experience and offered advice to students.
The career fair proved to be a dynamic networking hub, allowing students to gain insights into various career paths, industry trends, and the overall impact of financial services on the local and global economy.
As such, the event provided the venue for students, aspiring professionals and industry leaders to connect and lay the groundwork for internships and future career opportunities.
Cayman Finance participated in the event as a strategic partner. Associate Director Brittany MacVicar said, “At Cayman Finance, along with our members, we open doors to the industry for young and talented Caymanians and support community initiatives so that success as a financial centre is shared as widely as possible across our society.
“It was wonderful to see the students stop by the Cayman Finance booth, connecting and learning about the importance of the financial services industry and its impact on the local economy. We believe that the event was a valuable resource not only for the students, but for the industry, as we seek to develop the next generation of finance professionals,” she added.
