Why You'll Love It: 
Our immersion into the world of Caribbean commerce will likely be a once-in-a-lifetime type experience for you. You will meet extraordinary people, and see how locals can overcome true challenges to create opportunities for themselves, their families and their communities.  But, we don’t just want to showcase what the Caribbean has to offer. We want you to play your part. After an initial period of immersion and familiarisation, it’s your turn to get hands-on as you’ll be working alongside local businesses to bring creativity, innovation and new ideas. You will use what you have learned from the experience and the skills you already have to try and make a difference. Your work will not only mean so much to local people, but it will also give you a real-life case study for you to use for future work or study applications. This an example of you going out of your way to use your skills to do good. This opportunity is open to all and has no entry requirements. We are looking for students who are inquisitive, entrepreneurial, passionate and keen to learn.   https://caribbeanelective.com/business/
