Why choose a paid internship with Sentry Insurance?

As a Sentry intern, you'll take on a meaningful role within the company, integrated into one of various departments. Your work will directly support our business goals by contributing to real projects side-by-side with our full-time associates. Throughout your 12-week internship, you'll have access to a range of professional development opportunities, including one-on-one mentorship with a Sentry associate on your team, ongoing group classes and projects with your fellow interns, and a series of presentations from Sentry leaders.

This program is open to students with at least one semester remaining before graduation.
