“I believe that young people can only benefit from taking part in JAYE. In my opinion, it is the whole experience of overcoming problems, handling interpersonal relationships, product development and seeking maximisation of the company potential which far outweighs the ultimate goal of winning prizes. However, I have been fortunate to experience teams who have won prizes and their elation cannot be described in words. I may be wrong, but I always start by stressing that winning prizes is … Read more

“It was encouraging to see youth working so enthusiastically [on the Social Enterprise Programme] for the benefit of others without a thought for personal profit.”
Robert Gonzi
“Deep down inside, there’s always a feeling that you want to help out, that you want to do something. Volunteering for was always something I planned on doing since I work for HSBC who supports JAYE, and I finally I had the opportunity to do so. Being a mentor to the students is a wonderfully creative experience. You get to see this kids grow, neurons sparking and generating ideas and you be part of the process!”

“As a 17-year-old girl whose majors are in Arts and Humanities, entering a competition centered around business and commerce was already something entirely out of my comfort zone. That being said, looking back I am so glad I got the opportunity to experience such a different field. I am relatively creative and love anything to do with writing or artwork, and it was through JAYE that I realised that the business world and creativity are so intimately related. As Marketing Director, I had to const… Read more

“The JAYE Company Program has been a fantastic experience. Starting from the first meeting up until the final presentation, I couldn’t have asked for a better way to be introduced to the world of business.

“The Company Programme taught me a lot of things, especially about myself. It helped me realise more and more that I am a leader and that I am capable of taking decisions. It helped me improve my communication skills with those I was working with as well as helped me learn more how to work with a team. It taught me how to not give up and to keep persisting to reach my goals. I truly am considering opening my own company someday due to the Company Programme. My idea is to open a multinational … Read more

“The Company Programme has developed me as a person by helping to boost my confidence. I am more open to putting my views across as well as taking criticism. I now feel very confident speaking in public. My involvement in the Company Programme has also helped me better understand my own strengths and weaknesses. I have learnt various skills which are very important in the entrepreneurial world – communication skills and customer care. As a team we experienced various emotions especially when tea… Read more

“The JAYE Company Programme has been 8 months of constant highs and lows, countless new hands-on experiences and steep learning curves. From forming teams with unfamiliar faces in October to creating and presenting a business plan in December, to launching the product and selling it at a trade fair in March, to panel interviews in April and a final presentation in May, and everything in between, this programme is packed with emotion filled, exciting events. Although very time-consuming, every se… Read more

In the last 14 years, 3000 children that benefited from JAYE Malta’s Programmes, and hopefully somewhere 3000 companies operating out there because of the experience they got in JAYE. It is incredibly unique! HSBC is an incredibly proud sponsor of JAYE –one of the things that are really clear and really obvious to me is the passion of what JAYE is all about!
