Business Leadership Summer Internship - Virginia Beach
Note: We are creating multiple options for the application of our Business Leadership Summer Internship as we navigate the impact of COVID-19 on our current business practices. These offerings will include the possibility of a virtual internship, if needed. As we continue to monitor the impact of this pandemic, our execution of this internship will prioritize the health of all GEICO associates – both current and future.

It is well-suited for finance, accounting, risk management, economics, marketing, management, mathematics and general business majors.
