    The Business. 

    WTW’s Summer Internship Program serves as the primary pipeline into our full-time Graduate Development Program (GDP) and is designed for university-level students primarily one year away from achieving their bachelor’s degree. 

     The Summer Internship Program is an 8-week learning experience designed for students to gain an understanding of the ever-evolving risk landscape. The internship provides undergraduate students with the opportunity to gain hands-on experience working with world-class clients and colleagues in the insurance industry. The program provides the opportunity for interns to work alongside senior leadership and add value to client-facing exposures from accounts in the Fortune 500 sector to small local business areas. For a complete list of industries our colleagues work with, click here. 

     In addition to core program components, interns are aligned to a specialized business area that will begin to build a technical foundation of knowledge and provide exposure to our clients through meaningful work assignments and projects. The internship program aims to create a collaborative community that contributes to our business through various projects, speaker series, structured training, case studies, networking events, and more. The program is comprised of a structured orientation, goal setting, mentorship, I&D initiatives, group presentations, and a formal performance review process.

    Facultative Reinsurance Overview 

    Facultative Reinsurance is insurance for insurance companies. Carriers buy reinsurance to protect their balance sheets against the impact of large or accumulating losses or specific exposures that are outside their risk appetite. Facultative reinsurance can match the terms of the original insurance policy exactly. Or it can transfer a part of the risk, such as a single location, sub-limit or deductible. Facultative reinsurance can help deliver insurance programs and placements by managing elements of risk that would otherwise make placements difficult. It can give an insurer confidence that they can accept a particular risk outside their appetite, knowing they can protect themselves from the impact of any losses. We bring a one WTW client-centric approach, working with cedants and clients to create innovative structures that deliver the best placement for clients, backed by data and risk analytics.
