SECURA Insurance was named on the 2023 Rising Insurance Star Executives (RISE) Elite 50 Internships list, which recognizes the 50 best internship programs in the insurance industry across the U.S. This is the second year SECURA has been named on the list.
RISE recognizes internship programs with high intern satisfaction, meaningful work assignments, opportunities for interns to network with peers and executives, as well as strong diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts.
“Interns play an important role at SECURA, ” said Lindsey Coons, SECURA HR Representative, “Through meaningful work, collaborative interactions, and impactful networking opportunities, we aim to set our internship experience apart from others. We are honored to be named on the RISE Elite 50 Internships list for the second consecutive year.”
SECURA’s internship program was officially established in 2017, but the company has had interns in a variety of roles for many years. SECURA currently has 55 interns working in various roles and departments, including underwriting, information technology, claims, and project management.
The SECURA internship program is structured to provide interns opportunities to network and work with other interns, full-time associates, and executive team members. The program offers job shadows to help interns find their best fit at the company, and 98% of interns say they would like to stay at SECURA for a full-time position after graduation. In 2022, SECURA hired 70% of graduating interns for full-time positions. SECURA invests in its interns through training opportunities and meaningful work assignments. Company leaders engage with interns to give them autonomy in their workload, so interns can gain experience in areas they want to explore.
The internship program encourages interns to get to know each other through company-hosted events, such as executive roundtables, mini golf, and informative sessions from each major department focusing on entry-level positions interns can apply for upon graduation. The program also partners with SECURA’s Young Professional Network to offer opportunities to network and advance their careers with other young professionals.
