Education is the key to chartingthe future, both personally andprofessionally. For Cayman’s

youth, it is the path that leads to arewarding and successful career aswell as a fulfilling personal life.

In short, education opens doors. As Deputy Premier and Minister

of Education, Financial Services &Employment, I encourage young peo-ple to explore the many options available in the CaymanIslands, whether it’s on-the-job training, tertiary education,community college, or vocational school.

Cayman’s future workforce must be able to lead andinnovate in our sophisticated financial services andtourism products and be prepared to take advantage ofnew opportunities that are on the horizon. The develop-ment of Health City Cayman Islands means a wealth ofchoices in the healthcare field. Cayman Enterprise City isdrawing new and exciting businesses to these shores, cre-ating highly skilled jobs within this special economiczone. I encourage youth to explore the career optionsthese industries present, and the skills needed for successin them.

Many industries today demandpost-graduate educational qualifica-tions. It can mean a significant finan-cial investment. Assistance is avail-able through scholarship and educa-tion programs offered in both the pri-vate and public sectors. The govern-ment provides a variety of scholar-ships for Caymanians to attend localand overseas tertiary institutions.

Many firms in the financial services field offer significantscholarships to promising young Caymanians as well asmentorship to assist employees to grow and advancewithin the workplace.

There are other community resources. JuniorAchievement, for example, offers young people a chanceto explore their potential while gaining valuable businessskills. The government-sponsored Passport2Success pro-gram assists recent high school graduates and Caymanianschool leavers who have not yet found suitable employ-ment to update and upgrade their skills and begin a newcareer direction.

times a year and is open toCaymanians ages 17 to 20.Launched more than three yearsago, the work training initiativehas enjoyed success, a venture co-sponsored by CML Offshore

Deloitte Employability Initiative, a program designed tohelp high school students develop personal skills, attitudesand behaviors needed to succeed in the workplace. Theprogram is being run in partnership with the CaymanIslands Further Education Centre, located at the old JohnGray campus on Walkers Road.

to grow with this close-knit

family business.


ALYSON HAY, Communications CoordinatorWhen Alyson Hay graduated in May 2012 with a Bachelors degree in marketing with a minor in writing,she never imagined just a few weeks later she would be offered a full-time job in her chosen professionas the new Communications Coordinator for Dart Enterprises Ltd.

“I love to craft words together,” she said. “With my job I love how no two days are the same – thereis always something new to write about.” Alyson also coordinates all donation/sponsorship requests forDart’s Philanthropic Giving Committee. “This allows me to be at the forefront of the needs in our com-munity and know about different volunteer opportunities. I sometimes take advantage of these opportu-nities to give back because I find satisfaction in helping others, and if I can do it while working – that’s awin-win!”

Alyson offers these thoughts to young people about to transition from university to their first job: “Don’tstick your nose up at entry level positions. Having a degree does not guarantee you a certain position orsalary range. Entry level positions can test your ability and interest for your chosen career. By workingfrom the bottom up, you will understand what it really takes.”

COLLEEN CUMMINGS, Property ManagerWhen Colleen Cummings returned to Cayman from university in 2009 with a degree inHospitality and an MBA in hand, she visited Camana Bay for the first time and “fell in lovewith the concept of modern urbanism. I wanted to be a part of such a new and excitingdevelopment.”

Colleen is currently a Property Manager with DRCL Property Management, where sheis responsible for Regatta Office Park, a 127,000 square foot office space, and the YachtClub, where she provides direction and supervision to a staff of four.

“I’ve found my niche in Property Management, which is a growing market with manyavenues to specialize in – from commercial buildings to hospitals to residential commu-nities, and the list goes on!”

BRENTON RANKIN, Project ManagerWhen Brenton Rankin came home to Cayman in 2009, “Dartwas all people were talking about – like how the company was doing things for the com-munity by providing jobs and career opportunities for locals and foreigners alike.”

“I also had the pleasure of meeting a few people that worked in various departments in thecompany, and everyone had nothing but good things to say. The final selling point was the senseof belonging to a family-type organization, rather than just working for some big company.”

“The thing I love most about my job,” he says, “is watching a project go from an idea, toa concept, into planning, then into construction, and finally watching people enjoy the fin-ished product – whether it be a retail shop, restaurant, or new office building.”

Brenton’s advice to someone still in university contemplating career choices: “Pursuesomething you are passionate about. As the saying goes, ‘Find something you love to do,and you will never have to work a day in your life!’”

KARIE BOUNDS, Cultural Programme CoordinatorThe opportunity to join a dynamic organization that promotes arts and culturewas highly appealing to Karie Bounds.

“I took a special interest in Dart as an organization, and in particular thedevelopment of Camana Bay, as it saw value in adding cultural elements to theTown Centre, both aesthetically and through community events and activities.”

As Cultural Programme Coordinator, Karie plans, coordinates, and imple-ments a variety of arts activities and cultural events in the Camana Bay TownCentre. “I enjoy coordinating events that engage the community and facilitatecreativity. This job allows me to utilize my knowledge of Cayman and what makesour destination unique. My events, therefore, celebrate Cayman and showcasethe diverse people, arts, history, and foods that exist here.”

It’s a groundbreaking project that willopen doors to new and diversecareer and job opportunities in the

healthcare field – and beyond.Health City Cayman Islands will not

only boost the economic health of theCayman Islands but also the health of itscitizens. It will create hundreds of goodjobs, and unprecedented opportunitiesin research, training, and education.

For young Caymanians exploringtheir next step in life, Health CityCayman Islands will open up dynamicnew options for a meaningful, reward-ing, and enriching career path. Positionsfor doctors, nurses, and medical supportstaff will be in demand as the first phaseof the multi-specialty hospital opens inearly 2014 – and the demand will keepgrowing as more beds and specializedservices come on stream.

Health City Cayman Islands willnot only open up options for thosestarting out in their professional life butalso bring opportunities for the popu-lation as a whole, both Caymanians andexpatriates. The facility will eventuallyemploy hundreds of healthcare profes-sionals and support staff, and createsignificant employment in the con-struction field as well as in a variety ofservices necessary to support a majormedical campus.

It means new prospects for localresidents, and significant investment tothe Cayman Islands.

Health City Cayman Islands is thevision of renowned Indian philanthro-pist and cardiac surgeon Dr. Devi Shetty,who pioneered a new model of health-care delivery. Dr. Shetty and his teamoriginated the concept of a “HealthCity,” a 2,000 to 5,000-bed conglomera-tion of multiple super-specialty hospitalsin a single campus. The economies ofscale achieved through the health citiesenable the group to provide affordablequality healthcare to thousands.

The Cayman campus is being mod-eled after these successful high-quality,high-volume, low-cost hospitals. Theproject will bring superb quality, afford-able healthcare services to the CaymanIslands, as well as create a world-classdestination for medical tourism.

Medical tourism is one of the fastestgrowing segments in the healthcareindustry. Patients are increasingly trav-eling outside their own countries toreceive medical and surgical care, main-ly due to affordability, accessibility, and,importantly, often a higher level of care.

The medical complex will largelytarget tertiary-care patients from North

and South America as well as theCaribbean region.

Phase one of the US$2-billion proj-ect is a joint venture between Dr. Shetty’sgroup of hospitals and Ascension HealthAlliance, the largest non-profit healthcareorganization in the United States.

The project will diversify theCayman economy—medical tourism willjoin financial services and hospitality asone of our major industries—bringingan enormous economic infusion to thecountry.

Site preparation began last fall inthe High Rock site in East End. TheCentral Planning Authority recentlyapproving its groundbreaking PlannedArea Development applications, or PADs– the first project to submit applicationsunder this new, streamlined process thatwas introduced into local planning lawin 2010. PADs are for mixed-use projectsencompassing more than 40 acres thatare master-planned as one development.

The first PAD includes plans tobuild a hospital, hotel and medical andnursing schools on 50 acres of land inthe High Rock area of East End. Thesecond PAD includes an adjoining 50acres of land to build another hotel,commercial and retail ventures, restau-rants, and residential and assisted livingaccommodations.

The project is being developed inphases over 15 years, and will eventu-ally include a 2,000-bed tertiary-care
