About the Awards
JCI Mauritius Creative Young Entrepreneur (CYE) Program
The core of the CYE program is for young leaders to showcase their up and running businesses. CYE challenges young entrepreneurs to critically, innovatively and creatively think by requiring them to provide an in-depth business model, their marketing position, and strategic goals on how their venture will begin to earn a profit and become sustainable.
By providing expert mentorship and as part of the CYE experience, this program is not only a grading system but instead is an experience for participants to actively learn and receive insightful feedback. Whether a participant is first place or not, their business is sure to benefit from the experience.
Developing this enterprising spirit and self-starter mindset is at the core of JCI’s Business and Entrepreneurship Area of Opportunity.
