Alana Rogers, Human Resource Director at Bacardi International Limited, emphasized the importance of the internship program for both the company and the interns. “At Bacardi, we are deeply committed to providing the next generation of Bermudians with opportunities that set them up for future success. Our internship program offers students a chance to immerse themselves in a vibrant culture and to contribute to our shared legacy. It’s all here at Bacardi—we’re not just offering internships; we’re building a pathway for young Bermudians to grow, challenge themselves, and become part of something greater.”
The spokesperson said, “The Bacardi Summer Internship Program is designed to give students a comprehensive understanding of the company’s operations while also allowing them to gain experience that they can apply to future opportunities. The program’s hands-on approach ensures that interns are not only learning but also contributing meaningfully to the organization.”
Returning intern Andreaz Glasgow shared his experience, “This is my second year with Bacardi in Bermuda. Returning for another year, I was initially concerned about repeating the same tasks. However, I can confidently say that I have continued to grow during my time here. Bacardi has exposed me to various facets of the organization, challenging me and empowering me to feel like a true Primo. Although demanding, I highly recommend this internship for those seeking challenges and growth. If you are adaptable and can add value, this is the place for you.”
The spokesperson said, “Bacardi is committed to fostering the professional development of young Bermudians and the company continues to offer a dynamic environment where interns can gain practical experience and build a foundation for their future careers. As the interns wrap up their summer with Bacardi, they leave with not only new skills but also a sense of accomplishment and a deeper connection to Bermuda’s business community.”
