GIA Internship Programme

The GIA Internship Programme (or GIP as it is commonly known) is an annual talent development initiative introduced in 2008 to provide undergraduates across all disciplines with the opportunity to experience the dynamic general insurance industry.

Interns are attached to participating host companies for a period of 10-12 weeks, working under the guidance of a mentor. The GIP is typically held during the May-August semester break each year. 

A testament to the success of the GIP, over 300 interns from across Singapore's various universities have benefitted from the programme, establishing its positions as a world-class internship programme.
