Columbus, WI (5/23/22) - After two years of virtual programs, Encova Insurance will host this year’s summer interns in their offices. Many interns have already started, and the remainder will start in late May and June. Though many companies were forced to cancel their internship programs due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Encova’s 100% virtual internship program was a great success.

The summer interns for this year will work either hybrid or entirely in the office. “We were happy to be able to successfully continue our internship program virtually the past two summers, but we very much look forward to seeing our summer 2022 interns in the Columbus and Charleston offices,” Human Resources Business Partner Shelby Paxton said.
