 Wright Risk Management has designed an intensive one-year paid
work/study curriculum for recent college and business school graduates. Our hope is that
it will inspire and encourage young people toward a career in the risk and insurance
industry, as well as provide a training ground for future leaders of Wright Risk
Management. Trainees will work under the direct supervision of department managers for a
specified number of weeks. They will meet clients, attend staff and management meetings,
and receive study assignments to supplement the hands-on, real-world training they will
receive from experts in underwriting, claims, loss control, accounting and information
systems.
We recommend this program only for highly motivated individuals interested in acquiring
the knowledge base required for a successful and rewarding career in the property and
casualty insurance industry. Entry-level salary and full benefits package are included. If
you feel you are a candidate, please contact our human resources department.
The Management Training Program at Wright Risk Management affords a
unique perspective of the day-to-day operations of an insurance company. I gained an
understanding of risk-transfer, risk assessment, rating, reinsurance, claims handling,
accounting and marketing. I also was able to see how the Information Technology (IT)
department supports the "back end" of the business through the myriad of daily
transactions that take place. Spending four to ten weeks in each of the separate
disciplines also provided me with a detailed understanding of how the different areas of
an insurance company interact with each other and most importantly, how they each serve
our clients. In addition to learning about the broad and diverse internal functions of the
company, I was also able to work with the outside partners that support our operations.
These included reinsurers, actuaries and other industry statistical and ratemaking
organizations. I feel I have gained an unparalleled learning experience that will lead to
a rewarding career at Wright Risk Management. - Jonathan Hirt, Management Trainee

The WRM Management Training program has surpassed my
expectations. It is a great opportunity to work alongside many talented and experienced
managers. The exposure to all of the departments has taught me so much about the insurance
industry and WRM. The job has shown me that hard work and quality of life do not have to
be mutually exclusive. It is rewarding to be part of a "family" of caring
individuals that seeks professional excellence. The door is always open to senior staff
and managers. Instantly you feel welcome into each department. There is a real team
atmosphere that gives you a sense of confidence. You are given a lot of responsibility in
a short time, which is challenging and rewarding. This type of situation breedŐs loyalty
and the loyalty demonstrated by everyone here is very rare. I would highly recommend this
program. - Rob Rowe, Management Trainee 2005 |
