We ensure that our interns receive the best internship experience possible, which includes multiple educational, developmental, professional, social and networking opportunities. The esteem ERIE holds in its Future Focus Internship Program is evident at every level of the organization, defined even further by multiple opportunities for socializing with high level leaders, up to and including our President and CEO. Are you ready for the internship experience of a lifetime? Look no further.

ERIE Insurance recognizes that the recent years have been challenging for many. It is because of that, that ERIE continues to strive to ensure we're a leader in the insurance industry and bringing in strong talent remains a top priority. Because of that, we rapidly transitioned our (normally in-person) Future Focus Internship program to a virtual program in 2020 and 2021, while other companies and competitors cancelled or delayed their internship programs. This level of commitment to our future talent and organizational leaders, is a testament to ERIE's stability as an organization and commitment to our Intern Program.

Please Note: We are unable to offer this position to individuals who will require current or future immigration sponsorship for employment.
