Winter NiCE work project launches next month

A team of NiCE workers clears sargassum from South Sound dock and the beach in July 2019. The winter temporary work programme begins in December.

Unemployed Caymanians can sign up for the annual winter National Community Enhancement Project, known as NiCE, which will offer them up to two weeks of paid work in the run-up to Christmas.

The project, which will run from Monday, 7 Dec., to Friday, 18 Dec., is open to all out-of-work Caymanians and their spouses, ages 18 and over.

Registration will take place on Wednesday, 2 Dec., between 9am and noon, for first-time applicants only.

People who have previously taken part in a NiCE project do not need to register, but are invited to apply.

First time applicants

First-time applicants are required to bring their photo ID and voter ID card or a birth certificate, passport or Caymanian status certificate or stamp in a valid passport to show when registering. Spouses of Caymanians must bring photo ID and Residency with Employment Rights Certificate or a stamp in their passport that shows this.
