For the past several years, JKJ has been growing it’s intern program with Colleges and Universities in different parts of the country. This year we welcome five interns with a variety of educational backgrounds with the majority coming to us from Risk Management and Insurance programs from Temple University and St. Joseph’s University in Philadelphia.
JKJ invests in the program to mentor our Millennials and gain their perspective on business, technology and culture in the workplace. The students are given daily tasks as well as long term projects. They are assigned to mentor teams comprising of professionals with backgrounds in business development, account management, customer service accounting and technology. The mentor teams are responsible to provide the interns with practical business and insurance experience and the interns are responsible to gain knowledge and to apply their education to practical business situations. The program is intended to be competitive and fun for everyone involved.
The interns collaborate on a couple of long term assignments with one another as well as compete on their own ideas for implementation into JKJ’s culture and business process. We look forward to evolving the program with our client’s business needs and our own strategic business processes in mind.
