The Spencer Internship Program funds student work experiences in the risk management functions of companies. Spencer internship grants provide risk management professionals the opportunity to hire a student intern, who otherwise may not be able to financially support an internship position. Through Spencer’s summer internships, students can learn about the risk management industry in real world business settings where they can quickly apply what they know, respond to new experiences, and begin to develop key contacts in their field.

Spencer also offers a webinar series geared toward students and recent graduates as an additional resource to learn more about the risk management and insurance industry. The webinar series, which launched in 2020, was initially aimed at supplementing the student internship experience for students working remotely due to the pandemic and has since expanded to our vast network of scholars and universities.

Along with internship grants, Spencer also provides other grants aimed at developing and advancing our industry’s future leaders. Past grants include development of RMI diversity and inclusion initiatives; advanced courses in InsureTech, Enterprise Risk Management, Cyber Risk, and Data Analytics; student attendance at industry conferences and symposia; and a variety of other unique proposals. Spencer’s goal to help build a global talent pipeline of risk and insurance professionals is achieved in part by our collaboration with risk and insurance leaders across the United States and Canada.

A special thank you to Archipelago and the RIMS Golden Gate Chapter for contributing to the Spencer Internship Program and helping fund internship grants.
