The program is designed primarily for students approximately one year from completing a bachelor’s degree and serves as a pipeline to WTW’s full-time Graduate Development Program.

Work may also include client renewals and collaborating with broking teams on market submission documents containing information about a client’s business, claims, classes of business needing renewal, and supporting details. As skills develop, graduates may work with assigned external clients under senior colleagues’ direction, with external client-facing responsibilities expected to reach up to 30%. This is a hybrid internship based in New York, with most colleagues expected to work in the office three times per week. The hourly pay range is $31.00–$34.00, and the role is eligible for overtime.
