Who Are We?

What Is the Opportunity?

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 function at Travelers.

The 10-week program runs from early June to mid-August. Interns gain 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 insurance and interested in making underwriting their future career. This role is a potential pathway to the full-time Underwriting Professional Development Program (UPDP).

Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, so applying early is encouraged. Housing assistance is not provided.
