Internship Program

About the role

Your Career in Specialty Insurance Starts Here At Jimcor Agencies, we believe the best way to learn the insurance industry is through meaningful, hands-on experience. Our Summer Internship Program gives motivated college students the opportunity to work alongside experienced insurance professionals, gain exposure to the excess and surplus lines marketplace, and develop a practical understanding of commercial property and casualty underwriting. As an intern, you will do more than observe. You will contribute to real underwriting workflows, explore carrier relationships, participate in professional training, and see how an insurance account moves through the complete policy lifecycle, from submission and quoting through binding, issuance, and servicing.
