Meeting a Need

Established by leaders of Bermuda's insurance industry in 1996, BFIS is tasked with ensuring that Bermudian students are provided with opportunities to attain the education and training necessary for careers in Bermuda's insurance industry.

This is being achieved through scholarships, mentoring, internships and career guidance.

SPONSORS

Every year BFIS arranges to visit all Bermuda’s high-schools as well as some of home, alternative and middle schools in order to talk to their senior students about careers in the insurance industry.

In some cases we will arrange a lunch ‘n learn for smaller groups of interested students.

ARRANGE A PRESENTATION


If you would like BFIS to visit your senior students to talk to them about careers in the insurance sector and the skill sets and education necessary, email the BFIS office with the date and time you would like us to attend. When possible we bring with us one or two of your school’s alumni, now working in insurance, to answer students’ questions.

INSURANCE CAREERS VIDEO
We have found that having students view our 30-minute insurance careers video, ‘Set To Succeed’ prior to meeting with them, gives the best results in terms of interest and questions raised. ‘Set To Succeed’ is fast paced and features BFIS scholars, graduates and trustees talking about why they like their jobs, what they studied and what their goals are.

THE VIDEO INCLUDES:
- What insurance is.
- History of Bermuda’s insurance industry.
- Different jobs in the industry.
- How BFIS helps students.
- Education and career paths
