Risk Management Intern (Itasca, Illinois and elsewhere)

Description:

Our program embraces the concept of learning by doing. As an intern, you'll be working closely with producers on a daily basis in their work environment. Former interns are quick to point out that these Gallagher professionals are very approachable as they guide students through many workplace scenarios. Gallagher interns do much more than push paper and act as "go-fers." As an intern, you'll witness and be aprt of the business at hand- the sales process.

We offer paid internship opportunities for upcoming college juniors and seniors. The optimal internship experience spans two summers–beginning the summer before junior year and concluding the summer before senior year. Each summer consists of a nine-week program that includes a week of classroom instruction in Gallagher’s Home Office in Itasca, Ill. During this orientation week, you’ll be introduced to many facets of both the insurance industry and our company. You’ll also have a chance to meet our division heads, operational leaders and successful producers (sales professionals) who serve as instructors – many of whom are former Gallagher interns. The seminar week is an opportunity for interns from all participating branches to meet. Most interns consider this to be a highlight of the program.

Following this week of training, you’ll return to your sponsoring branch office to spend the remaining weeks of the program. During this time, you’ll follow rotational assignments introducing you to various departments. A real plus to this portion of the program is experiencing Gallagher’s student-friendly culture. The primary activity in the program is to shadow successful brokers as they work and participate in different phases of the sales cycle. As an intern, you are not responsible for selling, but you will gain an understanding of the process while helping to prepare proposals, gathering data and accompanying producers as they make sales calls, meet with clients and negotiate with underwriters

Qualifications:

Successful candidates for our program must have a balanced profile of success in both academic and extracurricular activities in their high school and college experiences. We’re looking for someone with above-average grades and a resume that reflects involvement in a variety of activities like sports, speech team, student government, community service projects, clubs or part-time jobs. A leadership role in any of these areas is a real plus. Other significant strengths you should definitely possess: excellent people skills and a competitive nature.

The program is open to college men and women from all areas of academic study. We’re looking for someone who is not yet committed to a career path or graduate school and would like to explore an opportunity in brokering. It is ideal to begin the program before junior year and participate for two years, but we will consider those entering their senior year who can participate for only one summer. We do not recruit freshmen or post-graduate students.

Paid Internship Info:

$4000 for 9 weeks
