The Safegard Group is happy to announce the start of our Summer Internship Program for 2014! Nicholas Ondo of Temple University and Julian Dorey of Bucknell University will spend the summer in their intern roles experiencing a rotational format in which they will spend time in each of our primary business divisions (Commercial, Personal, and Employee Benefits). Amount of time per rotation will depend on the student’s area of interest and our area of need; responsibilities will vary greatly to give them the most exposure possible to the different business divisions.
The interns need to meet highly demanding academic, teamwork, communication, and organizational qualifications to be accepted into The Safegard Group’s Summer Intern Program; Nick and Julian met our qualifications very successfully and we are very excited to have them working with us for the next 10 weeks. The Summer Internship Program in 2013 resulted in Christina Savage being hired full time by The Safegard Group in September, shortly after completing her internship with us (you can read more about Christina’s hiring by clicking here). You can read more about Nick and Julian below and join us in welcoming them to The Safegard Group in the comments!
Nicholas Ondo
Nicholas came to The Safegard Group this summer from Temple University’s Risk Management Program. He will be working as a Commercial Lines Intern assisting our staff with support on special projects such as: following new business opportunities from start to finish, participating in the client marketing process, and attending insurance carrier and claims meetings to discuss market trends and specific client accounts.
Nicholas is a senior at Temple University, where he is majoring in Risk Management and Insurance. He is interested in both Commercial Lines and Employee Benefits. He is active in the Risk Management and Insurance Academic Fraternity, Gamma Iota Sigma; and plans to pursue the CPCU designation or CEBS designation after his internship.
Outside of school and the office, Nicholas bartends part time at Temple’s local bar, Maxi’s. When he isn’t working, Nick loves to golf, snowboard and be outdoors. He is also interested in volunteering and volunteered at the US Open last year.
