The Big “I” has announced that Invest, the classroom-to-career education program it administers, has partnered with the American Property Casualty Insurance Association (APCIA), a national trade association for home, auto and business insurers.
The partnership will help Invest promote and enhance insurance education and industry training, the Big “I” said.
“We’re pleased to partner with APCIA to spread the word about the wonderful career options the insurance industry has to offer,” said Whinee Dillard, executive director of Invest and Big “I” diversity. “With the average age of an agency principal at 55 years old, according to the most recent Agency Universe Study, attracting the next wave of insurance professionals is key to continuing to strengthen the independent agency distribution channel.”
