(UPDP) position upon graduation from college.
Qualified students will have an excellent opportunity to gain first-hand experience, receive valuable
on-the-job training and learn more about the insurance industry. Each intern will be expected to
complete challenging and meaningful project work over the course of this program. In addition,
there are core assignments and a designated coach to further develop your knowledge and help you
understand and train for a future UPDP position.
The UPDP is designed to develop skills in insurance underwriting, sales, marketing and product
knowledge through a structured rotational insurance program coupled with training and
mentoring. This is a year-long multi-faceted program that gives participants the business and
technical skills they need to understand the core of our business and ultimately become
underwriters.
What is an Underwriter?
Insurance is the contractual transfer of financial risk from one party to another. Underwriters are the
heart of the insurance process, using finely tuned analytical skills to evaluate the acceptability of
business and institutional risk. However, underwriters are more than just analysts – they are the
relationship builders with our agents and clients. They are responsible for managing a profitable
portfolio of business through our distributing agents and brokers. An underwriting career includes a
dynamic blend of analytical and personal selling skills – it's stimulating, exciting and a great career
for the right individual.
The UPDP intern position is a very important first step to this excellent career opportunity.
