BEDC Intern Spotlight

This month, we highlight Saj Carey, a Business Administration student at Bermuda College who interned at BEDC through the Department of Workforce Development's Youth Employment Programme.

Over the last 8 weeks, Saj worked within the MSME Unit, gaining hands-on exposure to the team that supports Bermuda's micro, small, and medium enterprises. A Berkeley Institute graduate and a sprinter on the track, he is now pursuing his studies in Business Administration. We are glad to have had Saj spending his summer with us, and we wish him the best in his studies.
