Underwriting Development Program Jobs

The Underwriting Development Program is a twenty-four-month accelerated learning experience designed to give you unparalleled expertise and grow your career in an exciting industry. In this rotational program, mentors, managers, and underwriting coaches will teach you the ins and outs of our specialty insurance business through a variety of learning styles.

What exactly is Intact Public Entities? And what does an underwriter do?
