About The Position
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. Colleagues in this role will support internal clients, working with multiple teams/markets/regions. Graduates may work with assigned external clients under the direction of senior colleagues. External client facing responsibilities expected to be up to 30% as skills develop. As the first point of contact for your clients in all aspects of their insurance program, any claims, wording, coverage or industry news related queries are directed to you, so these are made a priority every day. Outside of ad-hoc client queries, you will likely be working on client renewals, meeting with the broking teams to put together a ‘Market Submission’ document, containing in-depth information about a client’s business including claims information, the classes of business needing renewal and any other supporting information. The broking teams then take these proposals to market.
