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 2022 Summer Intern position. If interested, see details below.
