What You’ll Do: As a Commercial Business Operations Underwriting Intern, you will assist our underwriting teams by updating policies, processing nonrenewals, reinstating policies, and helping to track data.  The day-to-day functions of this internship may change based on business needs, but you will be assisting the underwriting teams in completing policy tasks and assisting with other projects as needed. In every area of this internship, you will have the opportunity to leave a lasting impression on the Farm Bureau customer service experience.

Our internship program follows an 80/10/10 approach, meaning that 80% of your work time will involve performing tasks or working on projects within your department.

Then, the final 10% will be spent in shared experiences across the organization, where you will get to really learn about our culture, various departments, and work environment.

This opportunity is a great way for you to obtain entry level insurance experience, as well as real-world corporate exposure.
