Internship/Co-op Program at AmFam

I feel that interning at American family insurance has given me that platform to practice whatever i have made through my undergraduate and my graduate program I'm a math major in the marketing internship so this has been a really neat opportunity to kind of see what's out there I've got to do a lot of job shadows a lot of meet and greets with different areas of the company you're not just sitting there reading a book reading research going over presentations you are doing doing doing and you are learning while you're doing it a part of my internship is actually presenting to some teams on Millennials perspectives on shopping for insurance since we are part of that generation I kind of wanted our thoughts and you know what we're doing what's working and what we could be doing better an American family it's a very good place for you to grow as an individual and also as a professional in your chosen career I feel that I'm working on projects that are contributing to the company contributing to the success of our team and even impacting our customers too I can definitely say that the campus here of American families are very motivating campus if you need to get a little time away from your desk go for a quick walk around the pond what's been nice flexibility and the atmosphere that I really enjoy four in ten activities we were taking on a trip to gym bag they do a lot of like resume building events they do career opportunities they have their crafting nights so they just have a lot of variety in the events that they hold we all do have dreams we all dream about having something only something being somewhere and through that experience I realize that you do dream but then you need to protect that dream which is what the dream Park experience was all about American family holds volunteering so highway and gives us time to do that it was great to interact with the people in our community who really needed that extra assistance and to interact with them and get to know all the people who come in not only am I getting that professional experience i'm also getting that soft skill allows you being able to care for the community in which you're working that's a great company the people who work here are made they're all they're dedicated to their jobs I would highly recommend an internship here at American family absolutely it's been just such an eye-opening experience I've been so welcomed here and I really learning more than I ever thought I would in a three month time period I come to like everyday being happy I'm actually excited to get out of there get dressed and get to work I just love my job here because it environments is very welcoming that people are great so it's a great place to work.

Internship/Co-op Program

With positions ranging from IT, HR, and Actuary to Finance, Marketing, Communications, and more, American Family offers endless exciting internship and co-op opportunities for students in every field of study.

Internship positions are typically 10-12 weeks in length and begin in May and June. Our co-op positions typically begin in January and July and offer a longer-term work experience — typically six months. Both unique opportunities provide work experience that is directly related to the degree you are pursuing.

We want our interns/co-ops to challenge us by bringing their curiosity, courage, and passion to their key projects. At the end of the internship and co-op program, our goal is to transition high-performing interns/co-ops into full-time positions upon graduation.

“My favorite thing about working at the American Family Enterprise so far has been being able to show up as myself, 100% of the time every day. From getting to do work that is meaningful to me to sharing my family’s immigration story on a company-wide platform — I truly believe that I am embraced and that my unique perspectives are valued by the organization. It is a great feeling to be able to recognize my differences as my competitive advantage as an emerging professional.”
