 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.

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.
