Our Employer Equity Partners
“At Marsh McLennan Agency, we focus on how we make an impact in the communities that we live and serve. For us, it’s about building a more diverse, more equitable, more inclusive organization and community. UpTurnships plays a huge role in that. The partnership MMA has experienced with UpTurnships has been exceptional. The students we’ve interviewed, had in our office, and who have interned through the UpTurnships program have gained real world exposure to the insurance industry. We’ve learned a lot from them, and we hope they have gained the same positive experience from us.”
