What Is the Opportunity?

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 Underwriting Professional Development Internship Program provides students with the amazing opportunity to gain exposure to this critical function at Travelers. The 10-week program provides qualified students 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. It is a potential pathway to our 12-month Underwriting Professional Development Program (UPDP).
