CG is proud to announce the launch of its highly anticipated Summer Internship Programme, now in its fifth year. Demonstrating a steadfast commitment to nurturing emerging talent and giving back to the community, this internship programme is designed to foster the next generation of insurance professionals throughout the Caribbean region. Under the expert guidance of seasoned CG professionals, selected college students will embark on an educational eight-week journey. The programme has been tailored to align with the interns’ career interests, ensuring an enriching experience that spans practical professional skills, in-depth industry knowledge, and exploratory career paths. This year, the programme extends across Bermuda, Cayman, The Bahamas, Barbados, and Trinidad, welcoming a total of 25 interns, showcasing its extensive reach and robust nature. Locally in the Cayman Islands, the selected interns are Taija McRae (Marketing), Shante Reid (Wellness), Tishan Merren (Medical), and the current CG BritCay scholarship recipient Kayla Ebanks who will be interning in our HR unit. A unique feature of the CG Summer Internship Programme is a group project that unites interns from various territories, fostering collaboration and providing a platform for interns to present their collective results directly to the CG executive team. This aspect of the programme not only enhances real-life presentation skills but also strengthens inter-regional connections among the participants. The programme is rich in diversity, offering activities such as the Intern’s Community Day—a testament to CG’s dedication to positively impacting local communities that CG serves. Through active volunteering, interns embody the spirit of service, reinforcing CG’s core values. In addition, the interns have access to mentors, a series of information sessions on critical topics like cyber security, regulatory compliance, and personal career development. This comprehensive approach ensures interns receive a well-rounded experience, further augmented by a competitive compensation package, adding a real-world dimension to their learning journey. “At CG, we believe in the power of investing in our future through the bright minds of local students. By providing a nurturing environment, guided by our experienced professionals, we are committed to the professional growth and development of our interns,” said Naz Farrow, CEO of CG. “This

programme is a reflection of our belief in creating opportunities that not only benefit our interns but also contribute to the broader community.”

Entry into the CG Summer Internship Programme is competitive, involving a rigorous selection process that assesses academic achievements, extracurricular involvement, career aspirations, and alignment with CG’s core values.

The CG Summer Internship Programme, which began in June and will conclude in August, represents an invaluable opportunity for aspiring professionals to gain practical experience, explore potential career paths, and make meaningful contributions to their communities.
