The Alfa Internship Opportunity
Alfa focuses on creating a learning atmosphere that offers our interns exposure to various departments and the opportunity to collaborate with mentors. Each week, the interns participate in engaging and enjoyable workshops during our "Midweek Mixers." Our interns are not confined to a single profession or department; instead, they are given the opportunity to explore all departments and gain a comprehensive understanding of how an insurance company operates cohesively.
Given the prevailing stereotypes associated with internships at companies and firms, Alfa is determined to challenge expectations and provide a truly valuable experience. As part of this effort, our interns are treated as integral members of the team, receiving meaningful tasks and collaborating closely with mentors and other employees across various departments.
Alfa is committed to developing the next generation of leaders by creating leaders worth following. The interns have a special session in our award-winning Leadership Academy to help them gain self-awareness, embrace change, implement innovative processes and critical thinking. Our professional development focus also includes sharing valuable insights on seeking employment by having mentors conduct mock interviews with the interns using their new and improved resumes. We offer helpful tips to help the interns understand what to look for in a place of work. Even after the internship program, Alfa keeps your resumes on record as potential candidates for future opportunities. The interns have not only acquired knowledge about how an insurance company operates but have also developed lasting relationships, both professionally and personally.
