The company has been ranked among WayUp and Yello’s 2022 Top 100 Internship Programs List after its largest cohort to date

Lincoln Financial Group (NYSE: LNC) has been ranked among WayUp and Yello’s annual Top 100 Internship Programs List after its largest cohort to date. Yello—the largest diversity, equity, and inclusion talent recruitment provider—annually highlights companies across all industries that have established top internship programs. Claiming a spot on this coveted list was more competitive than ever this year, with nominations up 33% over 2021.

Lincoln Financial welcomed a record 148 interns from 80 different colleges and universities this past summer. The company offers paid internships in Actuarial, Finance, Risk Management, Information Technology, Digital, Operations, Customer Service, Human Resources, Marketing & Communications, Legal & Compliance, and Sales & Relationship Management. Many of the most successful programs featured, including Lincoln Financial’s, invest in their internship programs as a way to pipeline talent for full-time roles.

“It is such an honor to be included on this Top 100 list. At Lincoln, we strive to create opportunities for early talent through our summer intern program, as well as Lincoln’s early talent development programs,” said Jen Warne, executive vice president and chief people officer, Lincoln Financial Group. “Interns shape the future of the workforce and the ultimate goal for our internship program is to provide students the skills they need to succeed in this new world of work.”

Lincoln Financial’s nine-week summer program is where early talent comes to grow their career. The program offered participants a hybrid experience, including professional development workshops, networking activities and a speaker series focused on teaching the habits of highly successful individuals. New this year, Lincoln hosted the first ever in-person Internship Development Summit at the Radnor headquarters, which celebrated WayUp's National Intern Day. The company also provided intern managers with development opportunities through weekly speaker series focused on management best practices.

“Lincoln Financial continues to make a significant impact in early career development,” said Kate Feather, senior vice president, head of employee experience and talent development, Lincoln Financial Group. “Each and every year, we strengthen our commitment to our internship program and this recognition as a top 100 program is a true testament of that commitment.”
