While at university, Jonathan participated in a number of engineering projects, the highlight of which was his engineering team’s capstone project being entered in the 2021 National Robotics World Championships in Marion, Ohio. As Project Manager, Jonathan’s university team earned a Gold Award and a World Championship designation in the Combat Robot category with their robot “Beetleweight”. This was the first time a team from the University of Indianapolis had entered the competition.

Commenting on his time at school and his new challenges at CUC, Jonathan said, “Thanks to CUC, I have the opportunity to return home and begin my career as an engineer directly out of university. Over the next three years, I will be going through a development programme to improve myself and to gain valuable experience in the Company. I would not have had the unique opportunity to study abroad without the help from CUC of which I am greatly appreciative.”

Jonathan is a 2017 graduate of Triple C School where he earned passes in Mathematics, English, Marine Biology, Economics, Careers, Christian Education and British and Caymanian History.

CUC established its scholarship programme in 1989 and since then has awarded full and partial scholarships to over 55 current and past employees and high school students in the fields of mechanical and electrical engineering, information technology, systems operations, environmental management, occupational safety and health and financial services. In 2016, the Company further enhanced its scholarship programme by oﬀering assistance for qualified students to pursue their A levels.
