Big "I" News

At InVEST®, we know how hard it is to excite young people about the possibility of entering an insurance career—but we also know it’s possible. Our industry has been facing a talent crisis for some time, and we’re beginning to feel it.

That’s why the inaugural Insurance Careers Month is so important. During the month of February, InVEST will join a coalition of insurance carriers, trade associations and industry partners to invite the insurance community to support the first-ever Insurance Careers Month.

Watch this video to hear Bob Rusbuldt, Big “I” president & CEO, explain why Insurance Careers Month is important to our industry.

To get involved, visit Insurance Careers Month online and register to receive emails with all the tools you’ll need to take part in the initiative. Using the tool kit provided, here are just a few ways to participate:

• Change your Facebook profile or cover photo to the Insurance Careers Month image.
• Use the social media guide to share social posts using the designated hashtags #careertrifecta and #insurancecareersmonth.
• Engage millennials in your office to share their message through your social channels about why they love the insurance industry. Consider creating videos, articles or brief social media posts.
• Develop internship programs to attract millennials.
• Exhibit at a career fair using InVEST’s free resources to attract young talent.
