GKG Internship | Real Work. Real Experience. No Coffee Runs.

If you’re looking for an internship where you actually do something that matters — keep reading.

At Gilroy Kernan & Gilroy (GKG) , interns don’t sit on the sidelines. You’ll jump into real projects, work with real clients, and build skills that actually belong on a résumé.

This is not busywork. This is a launchpad.

What You'll Be Doing

• Owning real projects (80–90% of your time. Yes, really.)
• Rotating through mini-department experiences across the agency, giving you exposure to different teams, specialties, and career paths
• Supporting Account Management and service teams while learning how client relationships are built and maintained
• Researching, analyzing data, and sharing insights with leadership
• Creating internal and client-facing materials
• Shadowing and learning from multiple departments
• Participating in team fun & community impact, and volunteer initiatives that reflect GKG's commitment to giving back

What You'll Gain

• Hands-on experience you can actually talk about in interviews
• Exposure to multiple departments through structured mini-rotations
• A better understanding of potential career paths within insurance, business, and professional services
• Mentorship from people who want to teach, not just delegate
• Exposure to how a successful business really operates
• Résumé and LinkedIn development built into the experience
• A serious shot at a full-time role after graduation

Who This Is For

• Undergraduate students and post-grad / recent grads
• Self-starters who like figuring things out
• Curious, motivated humans who want to grow fast
• Team players who don’t need micromanaging

Why GKG?

• Voted #1 Best Place to Work in NYS (yes, even beating Manhattan)
• A culture that’s far from ordinary® — ideas welcome, growth expected
• 122+ years strong and still evolving (no dusty playbooks here)

Bottom line: If you want an internship that actually prepares you for the real world--this is it.
