<div><div>About Us</div><div>
We&rsquo;re not like other insurance companies. From our specialty products to our business model, our culture to our results &mdash; we&rsquo;re different. Different is who we are, and how we work, interact, deliver and succeed together. At RLI, we're always looking to hire and develop tomorrow's leaders. Our goal is to attract, develop and retain the best talent from diverse backgrounds while promoting an environment where all viewpoints are valued and individuals feel respected, are treated fairly and have an opportunity to excel. Our unique internship program is a paid, hands-on learning experience that allows students to gain practical industry knowledge, network with RLI professionals in their field of interest, develop and refine skills, and build confidence in their abilities.</div><div></div><div>
RLI is a <div>Glassdoor Best Places to Work</div> company with a strong, successful background. For decades, our financial track record has been stellar &mdash; a testament to our culture and validation of our reputation as an excellent underwriting company. Our insurance subsidiaries are rated A+ &ldquo;Superior&rdquo; by AM Best company and A &ldquo;Strong&rdquo; by Standard &amp; Poor&rsquo;s. Check out our strong financial track record <div>here</div>.</div><div></div><div>
RLI is a company where you will be learning from some of the best claim professionals in the industry and helping them resolve claims in a fast-paced, collaborative, and fun environment.

Did you know that the insurance industry spends as much or more on litigation expenses than any other industry? As an RLI intern, you will get to experience how an insurance company interacts with law firms, decides which lawyers to hire, and strategizes with our legal partners to optimize outcomes. Our experienced team of claim professionals &ndash; over a third of whom are lawyers, including over 85% of our Chicago Claim team &ndash; are tasked with conducting factual and legal investigations into new claims made by or against RLI&rsquo;s insureds, evaluating coverage under the insurance contract and relevant law, and working in a collaborative environment to develop strategies which drive the claim and litigation process.</div><div></div><div>

  The Opportunity
  <br/>
  <br/>
 </strong>
 WBEZ's daily talk show(s) are seeking an intern. With mentoring from the show&rsquo;s senior producer, this intern will help with daily production duties including booking guests, prepping interviews, writing scripts, crafting web stories and engaging audiences on social media. Our live shows air from 5am to 1pm every weekday. Shows are news-driven and audience focused. A typical show breaks down the latest news and dives into topics that matter to listeners' day-to-day lives and into arts and culture.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 The ideal candidate is curious and team-oriented, avidly consumes local and national news and wants to contribute to the public conversation around important issues of the day in the Chicago region. The Talk Show internship will give any budding producer the technical and editorial skills needed to succeed in radio and journalism. This internship is not coffee runs, busy work, and menial labor. It is an intensive experience where interns learn what it takes to become a top show producer. Our interns graduate with an extensive body of work under their belts.
