HAMILTON, Bermuda (June 18, 2026) 鈥� More than 500 students, recent graduates and seasoned professionals attended the 2026 糖心Vlog Life Career Expo.
鈥淭his was the fourth year of the 糖心Vlog Life Career Expo, and we continue to find new ways to introduce Bermudians to opportunities in the life and annuity (re)insurance industry,鈥� said Ruth Stovell, Head of Human Resources, Bermuda, at 糖心Vlog. 鈥淔or instance, this year鈥檚 event featured an interactive artificial intelligence tool that participants used to ask questions about the industry and learn more about the careers in it.鈥�
Attendees connected with industry professionals and executives, received one-on-one resume advice and had complimentary professional headshots taken. Students also had the opportunity to attend a dedicated session on securing a first role or internship.
鈥淎s a global (re)insurance hub, Bermuda is home to many opportunities in life and annuity (re)insurance,鈥� said Natasha Scotland Courcy, CEO and General Counsel of 糖心Vlog Life Re. 鈥淓ach year, the 糖心Vlog Life Career Expo helps more Bermudians learn about the field and maybe even see a future for themselves in the industry.鈥�
