Experience in the Internship Program:

Prior to the internship, Bennett had limited experience in Risk Management and Insurance. He appreciated the patience that the organizations within his internship rotation had with him as they laid the foundation for him. Bennett’s first rotation was spent observing and assisting employees with simple tasks, while his second rotation was focused directly on his personal development. Bennett was continuously challenged to learn new concepts, and he felt that the internship was a great first experience for him to obtain introductory experience in the RMI field of study. Bennett recommended that any student looking to get acclimated to the RMI field should apply for the Risky Business Internship Program.

Major: Risk Management/Insurance

Experience in the Internship Program:

My experience in the Risky Business Program was much different than the internship that I had this summer. The material that I get exposure to during the Risky Business program is new and exciting every day. I never felt like the work that I was doing was repetitive or boring. With the internship, I gained insight into how the captive industry worked and obtained a better understanding of how to manage an insurance company. I strongly encourage anyone in the risk management/insurance field to apply for the internship. It is a great way to see the insurance industry from a different perspective than your basic insurance carrier.
