Jobs and Internships

​Entry Level Jobs

These are jobs geared toward recent graduates without much experience who are interested in pursuing an insurance career. Entry level jobs usually offer great mentorship opportunities to develop a great foundation to spring board your career in the insurance industry.

Internships

By participating in an internship, you can enhance the skills you are developing through your academic studies and gain valuable first-hand experience which makes you even more marketable for positions.

Types of Internships

  • Internships for Credit: Some internships can offer course credit. Check with your college or university for details and be sure your employer is willing to abide by the guidelines provided by your institution to receive course credit.

  • Paid and Unpaid Internships: Some internships offer an hourly pay or stipend to compensate for your time at their company. If your internship is unpaid, inquire if there is any additional costs the company can cover, like public transportation and lunches.
