Admiral Insurance Group, a Berkley Company providing wholesale-dedicated excess and surplus (E&S) lines commercial insurance, was selected for the 2024 Rise Elite 50 Internship list last month. This annual program identifies and publishes a list of the 50 best internship programs in the insurance industry across the U.S.
Admiral introduced their insurance internship program in the summer of 2016 with just four interns located in their New Jersey office. Over the past eight years, it has quadrupled, with its 2024 internship program including 16 interns in three offices across the country. The eight to 10-week program encompasses five areas of expertise: underwriting, claims, actuarial, finance, and marketing.
“We are so honored to be recognized for the 2024 RISE Elite 50 Internships list,” states Admiral’s VP of Human Resources and internship program organizer, Renae Gary. “Since 2016, we have been dedicated to tailoring our internship program to empower young talent to develop their skills and expertise while in a dynamic and supportive environment.”
Throughout Admiral’s internship program, interns collaborate on a business idea with Admiral’s customers and employees. At the end of the program, each group presents their findings and proposed business ideas to our leadership team. Following the internship program, Admiral’s leadership team discusses the ideas and determines how best to integrate them into Admiral’s plans. In addition, Admiral interns are invited to immerse themselves in Admiral’s culture, including offsite activities as well as philanthropic efforts.
“It’s a two-way street, we learn from them as much as they learn from us”,” Dan Smyrl, Admiral’s President, states, “Every single year, the interns have a project, and every single year, we have been able to implement and learn from their project and put their ideas into effect at Admiral.”
Admiral is now recruiting interns for their 2025 summer internship program.
