Four Bermudian students are taking part in the summer internship programme at CG Insurance.

Under the guidance of CG professionals, Chiara Pesci, Sam Morris, Jya Ratteray-Smith and Casey Morris have embarked on a ten-week journey, gaining invaluable professional skills, industry knowledge and exploring potential career paths, the company said.

CG said the programme has been designed to align with the career interests of the interns, ensuring a meaningful and relevant experience.

The company’s summer internship programme is also running in the Cayman Islands, the Bahamas and Barbados.

CG said it encompasses a diverse range of activities, including a group project, team-building exercises and community service days.

Interns attend information sessions led by CG managers, covering topics such as cybersecurity, regulatory compliance, legal affairs, investing and managing personal finances, ESG and personal career and brand development.

CG said a rigorous selection process involved an in-depth assessment of applications and interviews with numerous candidates. Successful interns were chosen based on their academic achievements, extracurricular involvement, career aspirations and alignment with CG's core values.

In Bermuda, the community day saw interns volunteering their time and effort at Bermuda National Trust’s Verdmont Museum in Smith’s Parish where they cleared the attic crawl spaces of debris and refreshed the top floor exhibit, A House and its People.

CG said these volunteer efforts play a crucial role in preserving historical landmarks and helping to raise awareness about Bermuda’s history and culture.

Naz Farrow, CG's chief executive, said: "The CG summer internship programme offers exceptional opportunities for professional growth and development, enabling interns to explore potential career paths within the company while receiving a competitive compensation package."

She added: "This programme not only provides insights into the insurance industry but also nurtures a collegial spirit among interns, fostering a supportive environment through our experienced CG professionals.

“As a company, these internships represent our commitment to investing in the future by harnessing the potential of our local young talent and strengthening our ties with the communities we serve."

The programme began on June 26 and will end in August.
