CG Atlantic summer interns make an impact 

NASSAU, BAHAMAS — CG Atlantic is proud to announce the launch of its highly anticipated Summer Internship Programme earlier this summer. Building upon the success of previous years, this year’s programme emphasizes the robustness of the internship experience, highlighting CG Atlantic’s commitment to nurturing talent and giving back to the community. 

Under the guidance of CG Atlantic professionals, selected college students have embarked on a 10- week programme, gaining invaluable professional skills, industry knowledge, and exploring potential career paths. The programme has been designed to align with the career interests of the interns, ensuring a meaningful and relevant experience. The CG summer internship programme is currently running in Bermuda, Cayman, The Bahamas, and this year, has debuted in Barbados with the inclusion of CG United to the Coralisle Group of Companies. 

One of the notable aspects of the programme is the Intern’s Community Day, where all the interns in all participating countries, actively volunteer, showcasing CG Atlantic’s dedication to making a positive impact within the communities in which they live and work. This initiative demonstrates the company’s people-first approach and its commitment to fostering local talent and strengthening community connections.

This year, in The Bahamas, the CG Atlantic interns were able to volunteer with The Hands for Hunger Pantry, Carmichael Road, to donate grocery items for the less fortunate in addition to a pantry takeover where they were able to restock the shelves and coolers, following service hours in the H4H Pantry, the interns made their way to Blake Road to the grounds of NPCC to donate more than 1500 plastic water bottles to the recycling facilities on premises. The Hands for Hunger Pantry feeds more than 600 families monthly, providing them with food supplies and infant supplies where needed. Stacy Walkine, H4H Pantry Manager shared that The H4H Pantry has fed more than 5,000 families in need from January 2023 to date.

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.”
