The University of the West Indies’ Student Entrepreneurial Empowerment Development (SEED) Project at the Cave Hill Campus is an exciting programme aimed at encouraging students to start their own businesses. SEED offers a co-curricular course, open to all Cave Hill students, that provides a safe, educational environment in which to explore entrepreneurial ideas. It offers students interactive sessions, hosted by entrepreneurs and members of the local community, that focus developing students’ innovative business ideas from the ground up.
SEED members are also given access to relevant information and resources, including the process of drafting business plans and conducting market research, organisations that support small business development, related legislative frameworks, and opportunities for financing.
Entrepreneurship is key in the Caribbean, particularly since recession in many countries is limiting the number of jobs available for graduates.
