“My internship with Society Insurance was my introduction to the insurance sector and revealed a side of occupational safety I had not previously considered,” said Janae Manning-Smith a risk control intern in 2022 and now a risk control representative at Society. “The experience allowed me to apply my graduate education in a fulfilling way, discover new things about myself and highlighted my strengths. Now, as a full-time employee, I enjoy a career filled with opportunities for growth and learning, surrounded by supportive colleagues and a fantastic company culture.”
