CG Unit­ed In­sur­ance has suc­cess­ful­ly con­clud­ed its 2025 group-wide sum­mer in­tern­ship pro­gramme, which spanned six ju­ris­dic­tions: Bermu­da, Cay­man, The Ba­hamas, Bar­ba­dos, T&T and Ja­maica.

In T&T, this year’s co­hort in­clud­ed Samuel Blache, Chelsea Gre­goire, Chloe Sinanan, and Aaliyah Webb, who spent eight weeks im­mersed in a dy­nam­ic, hands-on pro­fes­sion­al ex­pe­ri­ence de­signed to re­flect the fast-paced en­vi­ron­ment of CG Unit­ed.

The pro­gramme un­der­scores CG Unit­ed’s com­mit­ment to de­vel­op­ing young tal­ent and in­vest­ing in the com­mu­ni­ties it serves. In­terns ro­tat­ed through mul­ti­ple de­part­ments, worked un­der the guid­ance of ex­pe­ri­enced men­tors, at­tend­ed lead­er­ship-led ed­u­ca­tion­al ses­sions, and par­tic­i­pat­ed in im­pact­ful com­mu­ni­ty ser­vice ini­tia­tives.

A high­light of the in­tern­ship is the group-wide in­tern project, which brings to­geth­er in­terns from all par­tic­i­pat­ing ter­ri­to­ries to tack­le a com­plex, re­al-world chal­lenge. Op­er­at­ing as a ful­ly in­de­pen­dent, self-man­aged team, in­terns re­search, de­vel­op, and present their rec­om­men­da­tions to CG’s ex­ec­u­tive lead­er­ship—gain­ing valu­able ex­pe­ri­ence in cross-bor­der col­lab­o­ra­tion, crit­i­cal think­ing, and pro­fes­sion­al pre­sen­ta­tion.

Each year, the project ad­dress­es a cur­rent is­sue af­fect­ing the in­sur­ance in­dus­try. Pre­vi­ous co­horts have ex­plored top­ics such as at­tract­ing and re­tain­ing the next gen­er­a­tion of de­ci­sion-mak­ers, lever­ag­ing AI to en­hance cus­tomer ex­pe­ri­ence and prof­itabil­i­ty, and de­vel­op­ing flex­i­ble in­sur­ance prod­ucts. This sum­mer, in­terns ex­am­ined in­sur­ance fraud, fo­cus­ing on de­tec­tion, pre­ven­tion, and client ed­u­ca­tion to de­liv­er re­gion­al­ly rel­e­vant strate­gies.

Naz Far­row, chief ex­ec­u­tive of­fi­cer of Coral­isle Group Ltd., em­pha­sised the pro­gramme’s im­pact.

He 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. This pro­gramme spans mul­ti­ple mar­kets but op­er­ates with a sin­gle pur­pose: to sup­port and learn from the next gen­er­a­tion of lead­ers across our en­tire group.”
