NEVIN ELSAYED 2021 Intern and Current IT Application Specialist “Selective’s Ignite program provided me with valuable work experience which accelerated growth in my IT career.

The opportunity to work on living software applications knowing that I could make an impact on someone made this experience special. Overall, I left this experience feeling a sense of confidence as I continue my career.” LIZ KAMEEN 2024 Intern - Corporate Legal Records Major: English and Political Science at Moravian University “Before entering my internship at Selective, I knew virtually nothing about insurance - by the end of the summer, I left with a developed knowledge of the functions of my department and a general understanding of the insurance industry as a whole.   Throughout my internship, I worked interdepartmentally, exposing me to the various and unique job titles offered at Selective, extending far beyond the traditional underwriting roles. I had the honor of participating in an Action Learning Project with my peer interns, allowing my opinion to be voiced to key stakeholders while also developing presentation skills essential for vocational success.   I am so thankful I had the opportunity to intern for Selective this summer, and I can truly say that I left with a greater confidence of the insurance field and lasting networking connections.”  ANDREA CHEWEY 2024 Intern - Underwriting Major: Business at The University of Mississippi “During my internship at Selective, I gained hands-on invaluable experience in a welcoming team environment that encouraged questions and exploration of various career paths in insurance. Working closely with underwriters, I learned how they evaluate risks and make informed decisions while observing their daily tasks.   This role allowed me to apply my academic knowledge in practical settings. Although my internship was in the underwriting department, I appreciated Selective’s commitment to introducing interns to all departments and careers within the industry.   Overall, the internship was a great experience and I am incredibly grateful for the opportunities provided by Selective."
