Summer Internship Program (SIP)

In partnership with HSBC and Deloitte, the SIP offers Bermuda's top university students an intensive 10-week summer internship experience designed to expose them to different facets of the international business sector of Bermuda's economy. Launched in 2003, the SIP has provided nearly 100 Bermudians with knowledge and experience in the areas of insurance and reinsurance at ACE, finance at HSBC, and assurance, tax, accounting and consulting services at Deloitte.

It is expected that students will significantly increase their knowledge of Bermuda's international business sector which will enable them to make career choices that will ultimately lead to their completion of graduate and/or professional level education.

By combining resources, the three companies provide Bermuda’s students with an outstanding summer program that has attracted high potential students who we anticipate will go on to benefit the international business sector by becoming outstanding business professionals, management and/or community leaders.
