Promoting Entrepreneurship Among Our Youths

The Jamaica Manufacturers’ Association Ltd. (JMA), in honour of its late Executive Director ignited the entrepreneurial fire with the launch of the Nicola Gordon-Rowe’s Schools’ Entrepreneurship Competition on April 3, 2008, as a part of its ‘Buy Jamaican…Build Jamaica’ initiative. The object of the competition was to encourage creative, sustainable and profit-generating business ideas among the nation’s youths.
