Are you curious by nature? Do you enjoy managing relationships and employing your critical thinking skills? Underwriters perform the critical function of evaluating the acceptability of risk and determining appropriate pricing for insurance products. The Business Insurance (BI) Underwriting Professional Development Internship Program provides students with an amazing opportunity to gain exposure to this critical function at Travelers. The 10-week program (running from early June to mid-August) provides qualified interns with an excellent opportunity to gain first-hand commercial insurance underwriting experience, receive valuable on-the-job training, and learn more about the property and casualty insurance industry from industry professionals. Given that, we are seeking interns that are serious about entering the insurance industry and who are excited about the prospect of making underwriting their future career choice. This role is a potential pathway to our full-time Underwriting Professional Development Program (UPDP).

Housing assistance is not provided.
