STARTED
You want to make an impact. That’s why insurance is for you.
Think of insurance as the “second responder,” the one who is there to help people, businesses, and communities rebuild and recover after experiencing some of their most trying times. What’s more, insurance allows our society to function more fully. Without insurance, buildings cannot be built, movies cannot be made, businesses cannot operate, and people could not afford the personal financial risk of owning a home or driving a vehicle.
By choosing a future in insurance, you can be a part of that and know that the work you do has a meaningful impact — on you, on your community, and on society as a whole.
What to Expect
Insurance and risk management have multiple paths for a high school graduate, including apprenticeships, on-the-job training, college degrees, certifications, and more. By choosing one of these paths, you are setting yourself up for a future that offers all of the perks you crave.
Apprenticeships
Many insurance companies as well as national organizations offer apprenticeship programs for high school graduates, offering the opportunity to learn and earn. That’s right — you get personal job training while you work. Many programs also offer immediate pay raises or other perks after completion of the program.
College Degrees
Did you know you can major in insurance or risk management? The benefits of working in the field speak for themselves and by earning either an associate or bachelor's degree in one of these areas, you can be sure to set yourself up for a long and fulfilling career in insurance.
Start Your Career
If you are ready to start working right after graduation, insurance offers a number of roles that don’t require a college degree or formal training. Plus, many insurance companies offer training that is basically a new hire bootcamp, offering all the training you need to be successful in your new role.
