50 Years Of Nurturing Young Professionals Leaves Gallagher Well-Positioned As The Talent Gap Looms

Every summer, Gallagher’s offices open its doors to more than 400 interns across the country.

For nine weeks, young professionals learn alongside experienced sales producers and consultants. They give presentations, shadow client meetings, participate in sales challenges and prepare mock proposals.

The internship isn’t just an opportunity for young professionals to develop their skills, however. It also creates a talent pipeline for Gallagher to draw from as it seeks to fill entry-level positions.

The program began in 1965 with one intern and has been a consistent source of young talent recruitment for the company.

Many of the interns go on to work in regional and branch offices across the country.
