Arch Capital Group
Winning Team of The Pathfinder Award
The Pathfinder Award honors the individuals or teams who are boldly expanding the horizon of what’s possible for early career talent. This award recognizes initiatives that help bridge the awareness gap—connecting Gen Z with opportunities they may not have known existed, or may not have realized they were qualified to pursue. Whether through innovative outreach, inclusive programs, or reimagined career pathways, Pathfinder Award recipients are the changemakers ensuring that potential isn’t left on the table simply because someone didn’t know where to look.
The Initiative: Why this Winning Team Stands Out
To be considered for the Pathfinder Award, teams had to describe a standout initiative that helped Gen Z candidates discover what’s possible at their companies. By sharing the goals, execution, and outcomes of their efforts, applicants demonstrated how they’re driving awareness and access to under-the-radar opportunities.
Agents of Transformation Internship
“The Agents of Transformation (AoT) internship by Arch Capital Group is an innovative program helping Gen Z explore meaningful careers—especially in the often-overlooked insurance industry. Based in Greensboro, NC, this competitive 10-week internship targets rising college juniors and offers a rotational curriculum combining classroom learning, executive mentoring, and real-world projects. Interns engage with over 60 departments throughout the summer, including Insurance, IT, Legal, HR, and Analytics, gaining exposure to innovation, process excellence, and digital transformation. Weekly modules, led by senior executives, culminate in a capstone project where interns tackle real business challenges using creativity and critical thinking. AoT emphasizes professional growth through resume workshops, networking, and team dynamics coaching. Toward the end of the program, interns embed in a department of their choice, creating a personalized, career-defining experience. To ensure accessibility, Arch covers all travel and lodging, attracting a national pool of high-potential students. Now in its fourth year, AoT continues to expand its alumni network and redefine early talent engagement. The results speak volumes: 95% of interns rate the program as exceeding expectations, 62% return for focused internships or full-time roles, and 54% of eligible alumni are hired full-time. Interns consistently highlight the value of executive access, collaborative learning, and mentorship. AoT is more than an internship—it’s a launchpad for careers and a model for inclusive, experiential learning that empowers Gen Z to explore, connect, and thrive in the insurance sector.”
