| InVEST® is pleased to announce the launch of its new website and free interactive eBook.
The new website combines the two former InVEST sites and includes three separate sections for InVEST's various audiences: students, teachers and insurance professionals who serve or want to serve as volunteers and speakers. Registered teachers can easily locate tools separated by topic and resources, including PowerPoint presentations, videos, quizzes and tests, lesson plans and class activities.
For students, InVEST has added and improved several online resources, including:
- Career Paths: in-depth career section including salary estimates for various positions in the insurance industry and videos detailing each job
- Personality Profile Test: free Caliper test with results to provide an insurance career fit and information about what's necessary to enter the field
- Insurance in Real Life: tips and facts regarding the various insurance coverages necessary for different life events, such as going to college, buying a first car or starting a first job
- Colleges and Training: locator for local colleges with insurance degree programs and information on how to obtain an insurance license
- Jobs and Internships: list of open positions for students and entry-level talent
- Scholarships: information on eligibility and the application process for InVEST scholarships
- Course Materials: log-in access to the new interactive eBook—accessible from desktop or mobile
The user-friendly eBook contains games, videos, study materials and online quizzes that teachers can configure to be automatically scored. Produced by New Level Partners, the resource won an APEX Award of Excellence in Electronic Media: Education & Training.
“InVEST is excited to announce an updated and improved website and new eBook,” says Robert G. Slocum, InVEST board chair and president of The Slocum Agency, Inc., an independent agency in Warwick, Rhode Island. “This new website will help all aspects of InVEST’s mission to improve insurance literacy in students and attract new talent to the industry.” |
