Biltir companies welcome record number of Bermudian student interns
A record number of Bermudian students are taking part in an annual summer intern programme with companies belonging to the Bermuda International Long Term Insurers and Reinsurers organisation.
Biltir member companies are welcoming 29 students from across the island, beating last year’s record of 26.
The students will join Biltir companies for ten weeks of paid work throughout the summer to learn about all aspects of the life insurance and reinsurance industries.
They will gain experience in a variety of potential careers, including underwriting, actuarial, finance, legal, client management and IT.
Biltir co-ordinates networking opportunities for the interns throughout the programme, arranges weekly lunch and learn sessions and hosts two social networking events that will include other business professionals and leaders from Biltir member companies.
This year’s programme will feature an inaugural introduction session by the Bermuda Monetary Authority, hosted at the BMA’s offices.
Biltir executive director Christine Patton said: “Biltir is committed to delivering an educational and rewarding experience to all participants, with the end goal of attracting Bermudian university graduates to the Bermuda life reinsurance sector.
“Thank you to all companies that have participated and are participating in 2023.”
The Biltir intern programme is now in its sixth year with more than 70 interns coming through the programme.
Biltir member companies participating in this year’s programme include Agam Bermuda, Argus, Athene, Global Atlantic Re, Fortitude Re, Hannover Re, Legal & General, Pacific Life Re, Prosperity, Somerset Reinsurance, Sun Life International, Resolution Re, Wilton Re, and Willis Towers Watson.
The year’s Biltir interns are Reanna Bassett, Jahlika Berkeley, Kiara Burcher, John-Duncan Card, Jason Comber, Vincent Darrell, Mitchiko Daquiz, Cameron de Ste Croix, Maya Dean, Jordon DeShields, Amber Douglas, Jordin Edness, Indio Francis, Jared Francois, Atiya Furquan, Trent Harris, Jaden Jernigan, Genevieve Lau, Max Marshall, Priel Minors, Keneilla Morrison, Kyrie Parfitt, Kaleo Place, Najiyah Raynor, Zyhun Robinson, Tiara Simons, Sarah Skinner, Jude Snelling and Chantae Wilson.
