CG Insurance has concluded another year of its group-wide summer internship programme, spanning six jurisdictions including Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, the Bahamas, Barbados, Trinidad and Jamaica.

This year, fraud was a central topic for local interns Benjamin Jones, Olivia Dunleavy, Sara Costa, Sydney Mason, Ryley Mason and Ty’Esha Smith.

Students examined areas such as detection, prevention and client education to deliver regionally informed recommendations.

Naz Farrow, the chief executive of Coralisle, said: “Our internship programme isn’t about shadowing; it’s about showing up and making an impact. The group-wide intern project brings that to life, empowering our interns to lead, collaborate across borders and develop ideas that reflect the future of our industry.”

She said the programme spans multiple markets but operates with a single purpose: to support and learn from the next generation of leaders across the firm’s entire group.

The firm said this year’s programme once again highlighted CG’s commitment to fostering young talent and investing in the communities it serves.

Interns worked across a wide range of departments, benefited from mentoring by CG professionals, participated in educational sessions led by company leaders and engaged in meaningful community service.

A cornerstone of the programme is the group-wide intern project, which unites interns from all participating islands to tackle a complex, real-world challenge.

Working as a fully independent, self-led team, the interns research, develop and ultimately present their solutions to CG’s executive leadership, gaining hands-on experience in cross-border collaboration, critical thinking and professional presentation.

Each office also hosted its own tailored intern experience, including community volunteer days and in-person development sessions on topics such as financial literacy, environmental, social and governance, career branding, legal compliance and cybersecurity.

Whether presenting to executives, supporting their departments or engaging in team-building activities, each intern had the opportunity to contribute meaningfully and build lasting skills.

Ty’Esha Smith, Bermuda’s property and casualty intern, said working on the group project allowed her to further develop her skills, create global connections and gain hands-on experience.

“This internship has acted as a vital first step in helping me determine my career goals,” she said.

The programme lasts eight weeks.
