Description
Employment-based non-immigrant visa sponsorship and/or assistance is not offered for this specific job opportunity.
The Role.
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.
Broking Placement Overview
WTW's Broking teams deliver superior results for our clients' business and risk management needs through deep industry specific expertise. The role of a broker is to help our clients mitigate their total cost of risk. The brokerage team operates as the firm's intellectual capital where we work with our clients to assess, model, and structure risk. Once modeled, the broker personally escorts the clients' risk into the market and draws upon their market relationships and their negotiation skills to secure quotations from the insurance carriers. While the nature of the work is similar day-to-day, no two placements are the same and common tasks may include: preparing and sending out submissions, liaising with markets, analyzing exposures, working through risk models, and negotiating quotations.

WTW Work Flex:
At WTW, we trust you to know your work and the people, tools and environment you need to be successful. The majority of our colleagues work in a "hybrid" style, with a mix of remote, in-person and in-office interactions dependent on the needs of the team, role and clients. Our flexibility is rooted in trust and "hybrid" is not a one-size-fits-all solution.
