Learning On the Job: SET SEG Internship Program
Learning on the Job
Each summer, the SET SEG internship program brings a group of young professionals into the working world to give them hands-on experiences that encourage professional growth. For many of the 2023 interns, it was their first work experience in an office setting, and while there was much to learn, there was a consensus – SET SEG’s workplace culture is positive, supportive, and welcoming.
“SET SEG doesn’t just promise a welcoming and collaborative work environment, they deliver,” said Sydney Tomlinson, 2023 graphic design intern.
The SET SEG Difference
While SET SEG is a risk management company, there is an abundance of opportunities outside typical roles like underwriting, claims, and customer service. SET SEG comprises many departments that attract diverse talent, providing employment opportunities across the company including sales, marketing, finance, employee benefits operations, information technology (IT), and human resources.
Most departments have the chance to onboard an intern each summer, allowing college students to gain valuable insight and real-life job experiences. In some cases, these experiences even inspire young professionals to enter the risk management or insurance fields.
“Throughout the past year and a half interning at SET SEG, I have gained a lot of hands-on experience across the company. This has inspired me to pursue a career in the insurance industry,” said Cole Moyer, former intern turned student assistant.
Others who completed the internship program have even found full-time roles at SET SEG after college. Joe Kubeshesky, the 2023 project management intern, was hired after graduation as a full-time Associate Systems Analyst on the IT team. Joe was quick to express his gratitude for the opportunities provided by his internship experience, sharing that he and the other interns grew exponentially during their time at the organization, both personally and professionally.
“I learned to work hard and be confident in myself while being open to feedback,” said Kubeshesky. “It’s important to push beyond your comfort zone so you can grow and develop as a professional. I am truly grateful to have had the opportunity to intern at SET SEG, it led to an amazing full-time role with the company!”
