Internships & Co-ops

A real-world experience isn’t “real" if you don’t have a chance to get hands-on with the same tasks that our
full-time associates handle. That’s why we want you to cut your teeth on the very same high-profile projects they work on.

You’ll apply the analytical and problem-solving skills you’ve learned during your education to a real
work environment – getting actual work experience in benefits pricing, financial modeling, incentive
plan benchmarking or investment studies.

Your unique intern or co-op experience will depend on the practice and office you join.

In Retirement, learn to:
Remit governmental compliance documents
Participate in investment studies
Valuate post-retirement medical plans
Forecast pension fund performance

In Group & Health Care, participate in:
Analysis of employee benefits programs
Discrimination testing
Benefits pricing
Data analysis

In Compensation, contribute to:
Financial modeling of compensation plans
Preparing client exhibits
Benchmarking annual incentive plans
Performing market analyses

In Insurance & Financial Services, contribute to:
Merger and acquisition
Financial reporting and analysis
Securitization
Risk management
Product development
Reinsurance


Continuing Your Stay
After your internship or co-op, there is an opportunity to continue your career with Watson Wyatt. Many of our interns do just that – accepting a full-time position after only one season. Whether you use the skills you learn at Watson Wyatt to become a full-time associate or you decide on a career path outside of our company, your internship or co-op at Watson Wyatt will provide you with the skills you need to get a head start in your career and in life.
