McConkey Internship Program

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.

We are currently accepting applications for the Summer Intern position. If interested, see details below.

“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 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.”

“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.”
