INDUSTRY RECRUITMENT CONTINUES
IA&B staff attended approximately a dozen career fairs throughout Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Delaware since January. They spread the word about insurance industry careers, job opportunities within our member agencies, and IA&B’s new Insuring Careers Certification Program (ICCP).
In particular, these events targeted three categories of job seekers: those looking for a career change (including those impacted by federal government layoffs), students and recent graduates, and those looking to rejoin the workforce.
What is ICCP?
ICCP is an online, flexible program for industry newcomers. It provides education on insurance basics, preparation for the state licensing exam, and application of the material to real-life scenarios. Participants have six months to complete the program.
The program offers a point of entry into the insurance industry for those IA&B recruits. It also can help jumpstart the careers of insurance agencies’ new, unlicensed employees.
