Cayman Finance Student Education and Work Experience Program

This week's blog is about a program that I applied to and was accepted in. My classmates Timothy and Vladimir were also accepted in the program and continue to go to the workshops and meetings as well.

First let me explain what the program is. The program aims to educate the participants on the local financial services industry, build relationships with key stakeholders and provide important pathways to future career opportunities. The program consists of three main components: facilitated workshops, mentor-ships and work experiences.

My friends and I are in the stage where we are completing workshops weekly as well as meeting our mentors weekly. We will begin the internships in summer. After we complete the round of workshops we will have learned all that we need to, in order to prepare us for these jobs.

So, why did I join this program?

Firstly, I enjoy spending a lot of time on extra-curricular activities such as these. I do not like having a lot of time on my hands, so programs like these is an exceptional way of filling my schedule. Not only does this give me something to do, but it allows me to gain experience and knowledge in the finance field. I get to do work experience at the end, which does come with pay. I also get to meet an abundance of important people, which will be great links in the future.

I encourage any student that meets the requirement, to join the program next year.

DIY Blog Review

I chose the Number 1 rated blog for DIY's; 'Pretty Handy Girl'

After searching for a blog to review, this blog continuously popped up. I figured that since this is so popular, that I would read it and review it.

The first thing that I noticed was that the design was nice and simple. I also noticed how organized the site was, it was separated into subtitles of the different kinds of DIY's. It was easy to find anything that I searched up. 'Pretty Handy Girl' had a photo of herself, as well as a description of herself so that you could see who was helping you learn these new things. The site had videos and photos, as well as descriptions of what she was doing in each video.

Her DIY's included, decorating, plumbing, electrical, recipes, etc. I enjoyed the diversity, there was something on the site for everyone. This is probably why the site is so popular, it has many different videos too choose from in all types of areas. She had many videos under each category, so that means that she posts consistently.

There is a way you can contact on her on the site, to ask questions or make suggestions, as well as social media links that you can follow her on.

The only thing that I disliked about the blog was the ads. There were ads at the top as well as along the sides, which are pretty annoying.
