Targeting college students, our Internship Program ties classroom knowledge to real-world experience. While the official program takes place over the summer, we also host interns during the Fall, Winter, and/or Spring semesters. Over the course of the program, interns explore the insurance industry and have opportunities to gain exposure to senior leaders, visit one of our local customers to further understand the business, engage in professional development offerings, participate in social events, shadow other departments, and more! A key program component is the interns’ group project and presentation. We divide our interns into two groups and each is assigned a business case proposed by our officers. At the end of the summer, the intern groups present their findings during a formal presentation to officers, managers, and peers. While we hope students have an educational experience and leave with more interest in the insurance industry, we can’t deny the excitement we feel extending offers and knowing a student wants to join our National Interstate family.

At National Interstate we provide a wide variety of resources for young professionals to drive their careers. New hires can take advantage of diverse learning opportunities including online courses and instructor-led sessions. We also encourage them to consider earning future designations and certifications. In 2014, we launched our Graduate Development Program, Ignition, to invest in the young professionals joining the organization. The training program provides recent college graduates a unique cohort experience where they learn the world of insurance together prior to beginning their full-time position. The program is designed to provide a well-rounded education foundation and a background on how our business works, as well as help participants, understand our culture and seamlessly transition into their role. Several program highlights include:

• Exposure to senior leaders and external customers

• Online learning integrated with engaging instructor-led sessions

• Professional Development training

• Team-building activities

Additionally, we are a member of Great American Insurance Group (GAIG) which offers development programming targeted at young professionals to continue growing their careers.
