**Create your future.** Join our Retirement consulting team in providing expertise in retirement consulting to support global organizations in optimizing the effectiveness of their employee retirement. Whether a client has a defined benefit pension or a defined contribution plan, we work with them to determine the right approach to designing, funding, investing, communicating, governing and employee management that fits their specific goals. You will also learn about all the services that WTW offers their clients and how they complement and enhance our retirement consulting practice.

**Explore an opportunity.** Gain direct exposure to real client assignments and meetings which will draw on your imagination and creativity as well as your ability to analyze data, solve problems, develop solutions, and share your results. In this role, you’ll experience a balance of expanding your technical and industry knowledge and developing your problem solving and communications skills, while benefiting from working in a close-knit and supportive team environment.

**Learn the industry.** Kickoff the internship at a multi-day session with other interns across the local region to network and learn about WTW from various leaders amongst the Retirement business. Throughout the summer, engage in a robust training program within your local office in order to enhance your understanding of basic pension consulting.

**Grow with mentorship.** You will have close interaction and support throughout the summer from your very own Lead Retirement Consultant mentor. This consultant will work with you on client assignments, give you an inside look at how the business works, and advise you on future career growth.

**Work towards becoming a credentialed actuary.** Accepted applicants will be eligible for a comprehensive actuarial exam study program, including paid study hours and exam coaching to assist in attaining an accredited actuarial designation.

**Love your work.** You will partner with consultants to provide technical actuarial and consulting support on projects like:

- Develop professional expertise, as well as technical knowledge and skills in the area of retirement plans.
- Working with a wide range of associates at all levels within the local practice.

- This entails manipulating data, analyzing data, determining plan liabilities, reconciling plan assets, and determining funding requirements.
- Assist with completion of plan reporting and filing requirements.
