Students have an opportunity to work for an employer with pay while getting on- the-job training and employer-paid schooling. Our apprentice program offers a pathway to a thriving career in insurance.
Students attend school in 12-week blocks each semester including the summer. They are in class on Tuesdays and Thursdays and work at the employer on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Students are assigned a dedicated mentor on the job.

In addition, the apprentices earn national insurance credentials through The Institutes and a certification from the Department of Labor indicating they are fully qualified for their occupation.
