**New to insurance? This is your opportunity to put your career on the fast track.**

Our Specialty Lines Underwriter Development Program is a 24-month accelerated learning experience designed to give you unparalleled expertise and grow your career in an exciting industry.

After completing the 24-month program, you will graduate as a Level II Underwriter ready to dive into the world of Specialty insurance and manage your own portfolios. You’ll be placed in one of our Specialty Lines teams in the region you are located.
