About the position

Zurich North America is excited to announce the launch of its innovative General Insurance Apprentice Program, set to begin in Summer 2025. This program is designed for individuals seeking their first-time higher education while simultaneously gaining valuable experience in the insurance industry. The program will run from June 16th through July 14th, 2025, in our Dallas/Addison, TX office, where apprentices will support our National Account Underwriting Services Team. As part of the apprenticeship, participants will engage in a comprehensive learning experience that includes servicing accounts through our end-to-end underwriting process. Apprentices will be responsible for accessing and evaluating underwriting processes, implementing best practices, and following instructions from underwriters regarding policy rating and pricing. They will also review mandatory policy forms in relation to accounts and resolve inquiries from brokers, underwriters, and internal customers. The two-year program combines targeted virtual coursework at Borough of Manhattan Community College with relevant in-office presence in our local Addison office. Apprentices will work full-time, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, while attending classes on Tuesday and Thursday. This unique structure allows participants to earn a tuition-free Associate in Applied Science degree in Business Management with a concentration in Risk Management and Insurance. Upon successful completion of the program, apprentices will receive a Department of Labor Certificate of Apprenticeship, equipping them with the credentials and skills necessary for today’s dynamic marketplace.
