Last updated: October 2026
Alliant Insurance Services hasn't posted any summer 2027 internships yet, and it isn't late. On October 5, 2026, neither of its two Dayforce job boards listed an internship. Last cycle, Alliant's summer 2026 intern openings went up office by office between December 17, 2025 and April 20, 2026, so the summer 2027 openings are expected from mid-December 2026 through April 2027. In plain words: you apply in winter and spring 2027, you intern in summer 2027.
Alliant's own postings paid $20 to $25 an hour last cycle. Its internship program page promises a dedicated mentor, called a champion, training in your field and help applying for a $5,000 Council of Insurance Agents & Brokers (CIAB) scholarship. Most postings asked for college juniors or seniors.
What Is an Alliant Insurance Services Internship?
An Alliant Insurance Services internship is a paid summer role in one of Alliant's offices, supporting teams in areas such as employee benefits, financial solutions, communications and general operations. Alliant's internship program page promises training in your field, networking with senior managers, a one-on-one mentor called a champion, and help applying for a $5,000 CIAB scholarship. Alliant is an insurance brokerage and consulting firm based in Irvine, California, that traces its roots to 1925. On its own site it reports $5.7 billion in revenue and more than 200 offices, calls itself the fourth-largest broker in the US, and says it's majority employee-owned. It's not Alliant Energy, Alliant Credit Union or alliantgroup.
When Do Alliant Insurance Services Internship Applications Open for 2027–2028?
Alliant doesn't run a fall recruiting wave. Last cycle its summer 2026 intern postings went up office by office: Omaha communications on December 17, 2025, McLean employee benefits on February 12, a virtual role on February 26, Omaha financial solutions on March 31, New York on April 20, and a Portland, Maine role in late May. That's about 1.5 to 6 months before a summer start. We have only one dated cycle, so treat the summer 2027 dates below as expected, not confirmed.
Applications for summer 2027 aren't open yet: neither of Alliant's job boards lists an internship. This window is when you build the proof that helps once offices start posting.
Ask your career center whether it receives Alliant postings, follow Alliant on Handshake and LinkedIn, and decide which office cities you'd work in.
The first summer 2027 office postings are expected, based on last cycle's December 17, 2025 start. Apply the week a posting in your city appears.
Most office internships are expected to post in this stretch, based on last cycle's February 12 to April 20, 2026 postings, with an occasional late one in May.
The internship runs through the summer in your office, with a champion as mentor. Alliant doesn't publish dates; its summer 2025 program kicked off in early June, according to its LinkedIn page.
How to read this page: our dates come from tracking previous recruiting cycles and daily posting data. Treat them as informed estimates based on historical patterns, not confirmed dates. The company's official careers page is always the most current source. If a role is posted there, go by that, even if this page suggests the window hasn't opened yet.
Why You Must Apply the Week Applications Open
Alliant hires interns office by office, not in one national wave. Each office posts its own opening when it needs one, last cycle from mid-December to late April, and none of those postings carried a closing date. So a posting stays up until that office fills it, which can be quick when a single seat is open. Many also sat on Alliant's link-only board, where you can't browse them; you see them only through a direct link from a career center, Handshake or LinkedIn. That makes speed the advantage: the week a posting in your city appears is the week to apply.
Which Alliant Insurance Services Internship Programs Should You Target?
Alliant's summer internships are office roles rather than one structured national program. Here's what last cycle's postings covered, plus the full-time rotational program.
| Program | What you do | Pay (summer 2026) | Timing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Employee Benefits summer intern (McLean, VA last cycle) | Support analysts and producers on renewals and bids: plan design, cost information, employee census, RFPs | $21 to $23/hr | Posted Feb 12, 2026 |
| Communications and Creative Services intern (Omaha, NE) | Hybrid, paid; scholarship opportunities and course credit available | Hourly, rate not shown | Posted Dec 17, 2025 |
| Financial Solutions summer intern (Omaha, NE) | Office support plus communications and creative campaigns; math or risk management majors | $20/hr | Posted Mar 31, 2026 |
| General summer interns (New York, Portland ME, virtual) | Administrative support: phones, filing, data entry in the agency management system | $20 to $25/hr | Posted Feb to May 2026 |
| Retail P&C Rotational Associates Program | Full-time, 12 months, three 4-month rotations; company-paid housing | Not published | Starts Aug 2027 for class-of-2027 RMI graduates at five schools |
The Rotational Associates Program is open only to risk management and insurance graduates of St. John's, Temple, Georgia, USC and Providence College.
What Are the Eligibility Requirements?
Last cycle's postings set nearly identical requirements:
• Class year: currently enrolled in college as a junior or senior. Alliant's program page also mentions sophomores, but the postings asked for juniors or seniors.
• Major: a related field of study; the Financial Solutions posting named math, insurance or risk management.
• Skills: communication, customer service including phone skills, problem solving and time management, intermediate typing (30 to 35 words a minute) and Microsoft Office.
• GPA: not stated on any posting.
• Work authorization: not stated, so ask the recruiter if you'll need sponsorship.
Is There a GPA Cutoff at Alliant?
Alliant doesn't publish one. Its postings screen on class year, a related major and practical office skills, including a typing speed of 30 to 35 words a minute. Five of six summer 2026 postings used a general administrative support template, so reliability and customer service matter as much as coursework. The employee benefits posting asked for more: analysis, independent work and comfort working with executives.

Count anything with a real employer, mentor or principal investigator attached. Retail and food service do not count.
Has any of that experience been finance-related?
Banking, PE or VC, corporate finance, wealth management, equity research, accounting or consulting. Any size of firm counts.
Are you in a finance club, investment fund or case competition team?
Campus clubs are how most admits get their first deal and modelling reps.

What Skills Does Alliant Insurance Services Look For, and How Do You Build Them?
Alliant's summer 2026 postings share one core: communication, customer service with phone and listening skills, problem solving and time management, teamwork, Microsoft Office and typing speed. Most add accurate data entry in the agency management system. The employee benefits posting goes further: bid and renewal strategy, plan design and cost information, employee census and demographics, benchmarking and RFP support. The financial solutions posting adds help with communications and creative campaigns.

Method: full-text reading of Alliant's six summer 2026 intern postings on its Dayforce boards (now closed; read in October 2026). Five use one administrative support template, so the top bars reflect that template; the employee benefits posting carries most of the role-specific skills.
How Is Demand for Operations Interns Moving Right Now?
Operations intern postings · Sep vs Aug 2026
vs 3,952 in August
For Alliant applicants: neither of Alliant's job boards listed an internship on October 5, 2026. Last cycle its office internships, mostly operations and client-support roles, posted between December 17, 2025 and April 20, 2026.
Daily US job-posting counts, Sep 1–30 vs Aug 1–31, 2026. Covers under half of US postings; shows direction, not market size.
Build These Skills Before You Apply
Each Alliant skill maps to a remote Externship you can finish before the first postings in December.
| Skill (from real JDs) | JD evidence | Externship that builds it |
|---|---|---|
| Benefits cost and plan context | Employee Benefits intern: plan design and cost information; benchmarking and trend analysis | Healthcare Operations Consulting |
| Client data and census analysis | Employee Benefits intern: group demographics and employee census; historical claims experience data | TruBridge Healthcare Data Analytics |
| Communications and campaigns | Financial Solutions intern: assist with communications and creative campaigns; Omaha Communications and Creative Services intern | TikTok Social Media Content & Brand Strategy |
| Financial analysis of clients | Financial Solutions intern; math or risk management majors | Attronica Financial Planning & Analysis and Private Company Valuation |
The benefits match is the closest: the employee benefits internship is the most analytical role Alliant posted, and healthcare cost and data work is exactly what its renewal and census tasks draw on.
What Is the Alliant Insurance Services Application and Interview Process Like?
Alliant doesn't publish an intern interview process, so this is what its postings and applicants show:
1. Find the posting. Check the main Dayforce board from mid-December, and ask your career center, Handshake and LinkedIn for direct links to link-only postings.
2. Apply in Dayforce. Create a candidate account and apply to the office posting.
3. Phone screen. A recruiter or office screen is the usual first step.
4. Interviews. One 2026 applicant, role not stated, described a third interview counting the phone screen, so expect more than one round.
5. Offer. Then the summer internship, with a champion as your mentor.

What the Community Says
Alliant internships get almost no Reddit discussion, and some "Alliant" threads are about alliantgroup, a different company. These are the first-hand items we found, plus Alliant's own intern stories.
Someone who worked at an office Alliant acquired said their office was great, with lots of benefits, good pay for an entry-level job and strong internal training programs that make a good resume builder.
A 2026 applicant asked for prep tips before their third Alliant interview, counting the phone screen, which suggests several rounds even for entry-level roles.
Alliant profiles a former Corporate Counsel intern who joined full time as staff counsel and is now a senior vice president and deputy general counsel, and another former intern now in its public entity group.
How Do You Stand Out for an Alliant Internship?
Three moves. First, be early in a late window. Postings appear office by office from mid-December, so check weekly and apply the week one in your city goes up. Second, find the hidden postings. Many intern openings sat on Alliant's link-only board last cycle, so ask your career center and watch Handshake and LinkedIn for direct links. Third, show customer service and accuracy. Every summer 2026 posting asked for customer service, phone skills and Microsoft Office, and most asked for careful data entry. A part-time job serving customers counts. Alliant publishes no applicant count or conversion rate; it points to career opportunities after the internship and helps interns apply for the $5,000 CIAB scholarship.

FAQ
Can I still apply for a summer 2026 Alliant internship?
No. Alliant's summer 2026 internships have ended, and on October 5, 2026 neither of its job boards listed any internship. The next door is summer 2027: office postings are expected from mid-December 2026 through April 2027, based on last cycle's December 17 to April 20 postings.
When do Alliant summer 2027 internship applications open?
They're expected to open office by office from mid-December 2026, with most postings between February and April 2027. Last cycle the first went up on December 17, 2025 and the last summer posting on April 20, 2026, plus one in May. Check the board and your career center weekly.
How much do Alliant interns make?
Alliant's own summer 2026 postings paid $20 to $25 an hour: $25 in New York, $21 to $23 for the McLean, Virginia employee benefits role, and $20 in Omaha and for a virtual role. Alliant also helps interns apply for a $5,000 CIAB scholarship, according to its program page.
Who can apply for an Alliant internship?
Alliant's postings asked for college juniors or seniors majoring in a related field, and the Financial Solutions role named math, insurance or risk management. The program page also mentions sophomores, but the postings govern. No posting stated a GPA minimum or a sponsorship policy, so ask the recruiter if you need sponsorship.
Why can't I find Alliant internships on its job board?
Many of Alliant's intern postings sit on a second, link-only Dayforce board that you can't browse. You reach them through a direct link shared by a career center, Handshake or LinkedIn. Also, Alliant posts from mid-December to April, so a fall search will usually turn up nothing.
Is there an Alliant program for graduating seniors?
Yes. The Retail Property & Casualty Rotational Associates Program starts in August 2027 for class-of-2027 risk management and insurance graduates of St. John's, Temple, Georgia, USC and Providence College. It's full time for 12 months, with three four-month rotations and company-paid housing.
Are Alliant internships remote?
Mostly not. Last cycle's postings were tied to offices in New York, McLean, Omaha and Portland, Maine; the Omaha communications role was hybrid. One summer 2026 posting was a virtual role open across the United States, so remote seats exist but are rare.
Is Alliant Insurance Services the same as Alliant Energy?
No. Alliant Insurance Services is an insurance brokerage based in Irvine, California. Alliant Energy is a Midwest utility, Alliant Credit Union is a bank, and alliantgroup is a Houston tax consultancy. Each runs its own careers site, so check the employer name on any posting before you apply.
Alliant's summer 2027 postings are expected from mid-December. Use the time before then to build proof: a remote Externship gives you a finished project to talk about when an Alliant office calls.
