#1 Ministry of Finance and Public Service’s Inaugural Wealth Summit
The Ministry of Finance and the Public Service will be staging its inaugural Wealth Summit next week Wednesday (August 18).
The summit is the first in a quarterly series and is aimed at helping Jamaicans identify solutions that will improve their lives and find financial security during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is also aimed at improving the financial literacy of Jamaicans by empowering them to make wise financial decisions.
Conceptualiser of the event, Shelly-Ann Weeks, who is also the Director of Corporate Communications and Public Relations at the Finance Ministry, said the free event promises to share critical information that everyone can use to get the most out of their money.
“The Wealth Summit is an opportunity for us to build our knowledge capital on financial literacy in our country. We want to create a space where they can gain clarity; everyone has felt a financial consequence of the pandemic; we need all the help we can get to learn how we can gain prosperity and get back on our feet and that’s why the summit is so timely, especially with the presenters we have selected,” she noted.

Online Income: eBaying — How to make money selling Jamaican items on this global e-commerce platform – Barrington McIntosh July 16, 2021
Posted by utechalumni in Business Development, ENTREPRENEURSHIP, JOB VACANCIES, Online Income.Tags: Barrington McIntosh Online Selling
add a comment
E- commerce is the buying and selling of products or services electronically over the Internet. It has redefined commercial activities globally, causing brick and mortar stores to become obsolete and pushing core business operations online. The e-commerce giants worldwide include Amazon, Alibaba, eBay and Walmart, who have accumulated revenues exceeding billions of dollars yearly.
Digital Jamaica Live show hosts *Kadia Francis and Monique McIntosh sat down with Barrington McIntosh — Global e-commerce consultant and super seller — to discuss how Jamaicans can make money selling Jamaican products on eBay. In 2009, McInstosh left his job in IT while in the US to pursue e-commerce. Three years later, his 4th-quarter sales landed him on Amazon’s top 25 per cent sellers list. McIntosh has since returned to Jamaica and is now a master seller on all major e-commerce platforms. He is regularly contacted by international brands around the world, including Amazon, to train sellers so they too can replicate this e-commerce success.
