There are a multitude of pathways to explore. Many insurance companies offer Claims Trainee programs that begin with handling simpler claims, gradually leading you to more complex responsibilities. Don't hesitate to connect with someone in Claims or HR of any prominent company to inquire about such programs. They typically welcome not only recent college graduates, but also individuals who have spent a few years in the workforce. Moreover, a college degree isn't always a prerequisite.
A common career trajectory for newcomers in the insurance industry is to join an auto, property, or homeowners insurance provider like Travelers, State Farm, Progressive, and so on. These companies are open to hiring beginners and providing them with necessary training. For those who already have some experience in insurance or legal fields, transitioning to a Claim Specialist role or something similar would be a logical next step and they would certainly be considered. Other valuable experience includes roles in customer service or any job that requires robust time management skills.
