Your Summer at Gallagher

Our internship program is looking for driven individuals interested in exploring a career in sales that is rewarding personally, professionally, and financially. The Gallagher Sales Internship Program is a robust 12 week program offered between May to August. The Internship will be connected to one of our Gallagher Canada offices. The focus will be to gain a well-rounded understanding of the insurance brokerage industry and broad understanding of commercial insurance and commercial sales strategies. We will offer you a comprehensive “learning by doing” experience by including short-term projects and assignments as well as networking and sales challenges.
