Travelers EDGE® Overview

Travelers' career pipeline program helps underrepresented students succeed

Established in 2007, Travelers EDGE (Empowering Dreams for Graduation and Employment) provides a unique, holistic approach to education for underrepresented students. Through partnerships with colleges, universities and community-based organizations, Travelers EDGE increases access to higher education and provides students with opportunities to excel. The program helps students progress from middle to high school curriculum in preparation for post-secondary education, building a strong pipeline of future leaders to college and beyond. Once enrolled in college, Travelers EDGE students benefit from a broad range of support services, including financial support, career and business advice from our employees, internships and job shadowing, and professional development workshops.

Program goals are:

• Increase the number of underrepresented students attending college through rigorous middle and high school curricula;
• Help underrepresented students graduate from college through scholarship support and academic advising;

• Build awareness of careers in insurance and financial services by providing a combination of professional development, internship and mentorship opportunities.
