ERIE Insurance recognizes that 2020 has been a challenging year for many. It is because of that, that ERIE continues to strive to ensure we’re a leader in the insurance industry and bringing in strong talent remains a top priority. Because of that, we rapidly transitioned our Future Focus Internship program to a virtual program, while other companies and competitors cancelled or delayed their internship programs.
