APCAA endorses Alabama’s captive internship programme

The Alabama Property and Casualty Adjusters Association (APCAA) has endorsed the Alabama Captive Association (ACA) “Risky Business” internship programme.

In an effort to engage and support the upcoming generation of insurance professionals, ACA provides college students with the opportunity to gain experience in multiple risk management environments during the course of an 18-week internship.

During the internship, selected students will spend five weeks in-office with Arsenal, five weeks with the Alabama Municipal Insurance Corporation (AMIC), and five weeks with the Alabama Department of Insurance (AL DOI), allowing interns to experience the multifaceted nature of the insurance industry.

The first week of the internship is an orientation to the programme, the second to last week is spent at the students’ entity of choice, and during the final week of the programme, students will prepare a presentation on the topic of their choice focused on the knowledge they gained about the industry during the internship.

ACA’s president, Norman Chandler said: “ACA is excited to partner with Arsenal, AMIC and AL DOI on this internship programme. We also want to express our gratitude to the APCAA for their endorsement.”

Justin Law, managing director of the ACA internship programme, said: “With so few insurance-focused programmes in the State of Alabama, the ‘Risky Business’ internship programme gives us a platform to increase engagement with educational institutions to educate students about the opportunities in the risk management and insurance industry.”

The first selection of interns received their invitation to participate in the internship programme in January 2020.

A select number of students will be invited to participate in this programme during the summer and spring semesters.
