Underwriters evaluate whether risks are acceptable and determine appropriate pricing for insurance products. The Business Insurance (BI) Underwriting Professional Development Internship Program gives students exposure to this work at Travelers. The 10-week program runs from early June to mid-August and offers hands-on commercial insurance underwriting experience, on-the-job training, and insight into the property and casualty industry from industry professionals. Interns should be serious about entering the insurance industry and interested in making underwriting a future career. This role is a potential pathway to the full-time Underwriting Professional Development Program (UPDP).

Housing assistance is not provided.
