Insurance Intern

June - August 2019 • Indianapolis, IN

What I liked

I loved how interactive and applicable the internship was. I was able to meet agents and insureds face-to-face and see how business was conducted on a day to day basis. The work that I did during the summer was actually used by the account executives so I got to actually do work that was helpful to the organization. Finally, I was able to increase my confidence and expand my network.

What I wish was different

I wish the internship had been longer so I could have more time with the company.

Advice

Travelers is an amazing company that I am proud to work for. Any opportunity to work with or intern for Travelers should be taken.

Claim Inten

June - August 2018 • West St. Paul, MN

What I liked

Wonderful company culture. Very hands-on and meaningful work. The structure of the program included many all-intern events and information sessions about other areas of the company. Endless opportunities to network and connect with other business units. The all-intern project was very fun. There was a good amount of availability within the work week. The trip to Hartford, Connecticut was very valuable.

What I wish was different

Parking or housing stipend.

Advice

Take advantage of opportunities to network and explore your own interests within the company. Travelers puts much effort into providing meaningful work and is very interested in intern feedback.

What I liked

Multiple training sessions available for a variety of program systems (Excel, SAS, SQL, Python, QlikView) Worked directly with an analytic insights team On and off campus social events Housing or CT Transit bus pass provided

What I wish was different

The work I participated in this summer wasn't exactly what I was expecting, but a great experience I wish I had the opportunity to use more of the program systems I was trained in

Advice

Make sure you communicate to both your manager and program manager about future opportunities you seek within the internship Network! The more speakers or full-time employees you reach out to via email, the better

Underwriting Intern

June - August 2018 • Independence, OH

What I liked

I loved the opportunity to complete case studies and shadow different units. Travelers really made it possible to explore the realm of insurance in its entirety. The pay was very nice and everyone in the office was more than willing to answer questions and take interns along with them throughout the day..

What I wish was different

I would have liked to go out of the office more to experience the relationship part of the job with agents. In the past, I know they had intern swaps with local agents but I did not have this opportunity.

Advice

Take notes and do not be afraid to ask questions from the start. If you aren’t familiar with insurance, you will have many questions and it’s easiest just to ask them in the beginning so you can build off of your knowledge and learn more quickly.

Actuarial Leadership Development Program Intern

June - August 2020 • Saint Paul, MN

What I liked

I enjoyed the connections I made with the actuarial community despite the virtual nature of the experience. I was impressed with Travelers' quick transition to a virtual internship which still maintained the highest level of quality. I built my excel skills through working on real projects, was involved on my team's meetings, and presented my work. I loved the opportunity to explore the actuarial career, build relationships, and learn more about actuarial concepts.

What I wish was different

I would have enjoyed further opportunities to connect with fellow interns. It was challenging to find ways to connect virtually beyond the typical events.

Advice

I would highly recommend this experience for anyone considering an actuarial career! It was an excellent way to learn more about the topics and apply my analytics skills, while becoming a part of a welcoming community.

Claim Intern

June - August 2021 • Wyomissing, PA

What I liked

I liked the people and all the information that was given to me. I liked how it was hands on and we were able to ask questions when we didn’t understand something.

What I wish was different

I don’t think it’s something that could be done differently I think it’s just a little tweak to the summer internship we had to complete throughout our time there. We had a lot of downtime because of the courses we had to take because the courses said they would be longer than what they were but really they were 15-25 mins and that time was reserved for an hour. I think that’s just a minor thing that can be changed.

Advice

One piece of advice I would share would be to step out of your comfort zone and ask questions when they arise and don’t hold back. The people I worked with during the summer were super helpful and super nice and just all around role models to do better.
