Think you have what it takes?

Each summer, McConkey provides valuable internship opportunities for local junior and senior level college students. The program, which runs from May until August, is usually extended to Business majors; however, other majors have been considered where the student had a sincere interest in learning more about the insurance industry and the career opportunities that exist therein. Please take the time to learn more about our internship.

McConkey provided me with an exceptional environment where I had the ability to focus on my areas of interest and grow as a professional. As an intern, I found myself supported through each task by several mentors who were as devoted to my success as I was. I would recommend the McConkey Internship Program to anyone wishing to maximize their professional development.

Kate Bixler2022 Marketing & Admin Intern

I was given the opportunity to fill in the gaps that were left by the pandemic forcing everyone out of the classroom in 2020. Due to the restrictions brought on by Covid-19, I was unable to fully replicate the essential opportunity to work with this technology in a hands-on way. However, my time at McConkey allowed me to really dig into the weeds on the inner-workings of essential concepts that expand my opportunities across the industry.

Jackie Schatzer2022 Technology Intern

I learned a lot about the importance of relationships in this industry and that McConkey really prioritizes genuine authenticity and putting the client first. Everyone was really helpful, it’s like a family- nobody is a stranger here.

Jamal Evans2021 Business Insurance Intern

I really enjoyed engrossing myself in McConkey’s culture- I got work done and had fun doing it at the same time. There's a lot of great personalities and it's a very unique and productive workplace.

Herbert Bryner2021 Technology Intern

I enjoyed getting to know everyone in the office and taking part in McConkey’s culture. There’s a lot of room for people to express themselves, it's a great environment for morale.

Cole Larson2021 Data Analytics Intern

I gained a lot from my virtual internship experience with McConkey and it redefined what being a remote employee meant to me in a very positive way. I was given a lot of projects that allowed me to work autonomously and creatively and was really given the space to grow through McConkey.

Erin McCabe2020 Marketing Intern

From day one of my internship, I felt completely at home and a part of the McConkey family. Being able to work alongside so many knowledgeable and helpful colleagues was an opportunity that is hard to match and one that I greatly enjoyed.

Kody Allen2019 Summer Intern

The first thing I noticed about McConkey was the positive environment in the office. Coming in as the intern, you think you’re going to be treated in a different way which could result in a negative experience. Right from the start I was treated like a seasoned employee.
