Unum

Unum Group runs two student tracks and three named multi-year rotational programs, detailed on its early-career hub and development programs page:

• Summer Internships: a 10-week, full-time paid placement with a sign-on bonus
• Year-Round Scholars Program: part-time (15–28 hours a week) alongside coursework through the academic year, with many scholars converting to full-time roles after graduation
• Professional Development Program (PDP): 3–4 years total, rotating every 12–18 months across functions including Finance, IT, Underwriting and Marketing
• Actuarial Development Program (ADP): a multi-year track toward the FSA designation, rotating every 18–24 months, with paid study time and a salary increase for each exam passed
• Accounting & Finance Development Program (AFDP): a multi-year track toward the CPA or CFA, also rotating every 18–24 months

The two kinds of program run on different clocks: the summer internship is a single ten-week season, while the three development programs ask for a three-to-four-year commitment straight out of school – a longer bet than a typical internship-to-offer pipeline, worth weighing against shorter programs elsewhere before applying.

Both figures hold up against outside reporting: a founding year of 1848, 2022 employment of 10,937, and current Fortune 500 status. The company also holds a current Great Place to Work certification, with 73% of employees rating it a great place to work as of its May 2026 recertification.

For an early-career applicant choosing between insurers, a Fortune 500 incumbent operating since 1848 with an independently verified workplace score is a different kind of bet from a newer or smaller entrant – relevant when deciding which of a limited number of insurance-industry applications to prioritize.
