Eight young people are set to benefit from expanded on-the-job training at Bryden Stokes Limited (BSL), as the company doubles its summer internship intake and deepens its push to develop future talent for the private sector.

Speaking at the launch of the 2026 summer internship programme at the company’s Barbarees Hill headquarters on Monday, managing director David Sealy said the expansion reflected the success of last year’s initiative, which resulted in two interns securing full-time employment with the company.

“Last year, we welcomed our first group of BSL interns. By the end of the programme, the transformation of these young persons was so epic, not only professionally, but personally,” he said.
