TRAINEE PROGRAM


If you enjoy helping others through difficult times, are outgoing, like to learn new things, and can work effectively in stressful situations, then a career in claims may be right for you!

Or, if you are an inquisitive thinker, are proficient in problem-solving, able to analyze data and make decisions, and have strong written and verbal communication skills, then a career in underwriting may be just what you are looking for!

Western National provides a three phased training program, including classroom and hands-on training, designed to teach you the fundamentals of insurance and claims in both our Claims & Underwriting Trainee programs.

Trainee Opportunities

As an Underwriting Trainee, you will learn how to assess risks, determine policy terms, and develop pricing strategies, all while being mentored by our experienced underwriters. As a Claims Trainee, you will gain expertise in investigating claims, evaluating policy coverage, and negotiating settlements, under the guidance of our seasoned claims professionals.

  • Both programs take place at our home office in Edina, Minnesota.
