Your summer with us

An internship at Gallagher could be the first step on a career path that offers tremendous growth potential. We're a unique organization made better every single day by our dedicated employees and leaders.

Many of our sales professionals started on this program as interns. We're very proud of this fact and believe it speaks volumes about our one-of-a-kind company and culture.

Our comprehensive "learning by doing" experience will provide you with a realistic look at what it means to be a Gallagher Producer through job shadowing, presentations, client project assignments, prospecting, and more.

How you'll make an impact

On a day-to-day basis you'll learn and develop skills in five core areas;

  • Understanding Consultative Selling - Shadowing our producers, consultants and underwriting teams as they connect with clients and prospects. Doing this will help you gain a better understanding of our sales and marketing process.
  • Professional Development - Attending our National Intern Orientation event, weekly training events and case competitions to further develop the qualities you'll need to be a successful sales professional (i.e. communication, emotional intelligence, networking, etc.)
  • Collaboration - Growing alongside peers in national and regional sales competitions to invigorate your passion for sales and curiosity about the insurance brokerage world.
  • Building Professional Acumen - Learning about our Risk Management, Benefits, Wholesale and Claims businesses. This will help to build a better understanding of clients’ needs and opportunities for growth.
  • Culture - You'll experience first-hand the impact our “Gallagher Way” has on how we do business.
  • Being a Team Player - Helping with various regional and/or branch projects, showing your passion to learn and be mentored by employees excited to help you navigate your future.

You'll be able to manage relationships, provide leadership where needed, and demonstrate your interpersonal skills when working well with others.

You'll be able to organize yourself and your work, have the ability to multi-task and have a passion to build a supportive network.
