The Technology Leadership Forum [TLF] is celebrating the recent graduation of six students from its internship program, including Matthew Crisson, Anaya West, Kyla Philpott, A’Miah Butterfield, Nicholas Weikl, and Tyler Furtado.
A spokesperson said, “The Technology Leadership Forum proudly celebrates the recent graduation of its 2024 interns, who completed the rigorous 12-week paid internship program in August. This year’s program, facilitated by Connectech Coding, exemplified TLF’s commitment to shaping Bermuda’s future tech leaders by providing a blend of practical work experience, technical training, and professional development.
“The 2024 internship included intensive sessions on artificial intelligence, phishing, cybersecurity, datacenter management, IT governance, risk and compliance [GRC], customer service, and leadership led by both local and international subject matter experts, equipping them with the skills and knowledge necessary to thrive in Bermuda’s growing technology sector and exposing them to areas of the ICT sector that they may not have considered or known about.

“The TLF internship program is a cornerstone of Bermuda’s efforts to ensure local talent is prepared to contribute to the island’s tech landscape. It serves as a vital bridge, guiding students to pursue relevant courses and certifications while connecting them to career opportunities at home.
