The Business.
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.

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.
GSS Placement Overview
Global Solutions & Services (GSS) is an international group that wears many hats. The primary focus is Service and Broking, but Consulting is also a key offering in advising our Global Clients across all lines of business, not just International Casualty. The “ABCs” of GSS start with Strategic Advisory on all things global impacting a client’s risk programs regardless of line of coverage; broking of the International Casualty and/or International Package programs; and then coordinating and managing our global network to implement the global programs and service the subsidiaries of our global clients around the globe. The GSS team handles and manages WTW’s network (foreign offices) and acts as the Liaison for all International issues. A role in GSS is suited to individuals who look forward to working in a client facing role, negotiating with insurance companies and are eager to work on several different projects at the same time.
