The Big “I" Diversity Council is partnering with Hire Our Heroes (HOH) to place military transitioning military service members in the last 3 months of their service in independent insurance agencies. The insurance fellowship program will connect the military community—service members, military spouses, and veterans—with independent insurance agencies to create economic opportunity and a strong and diversified workforce.
The 12-week program is held Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Fellows attend an initial week of corporate training followed by 11 weeks of on-the-job training with their selected organization. Corporate training takes place Monday through Thursday with a day of mandatory classroom instruction every Friday.
To help independent agency owners, the Big “I" Diversity Council is creating a fellowship roadmap guide to help agencies create a rewarding career path and transition. HOH provides thousands of qualified applicants to choose from.

For the Military Pros…
The Big “I" is partnering with Hire Our Heroes to place military servicemembers in the final three months of their services in independent insurance agencies as fellows. The insurance industry provides stable, lucrative careers and with more than 25,000 independent agency locations in the Big “I" community, opportunities are where you are!
Independent insurance agents work to protect what's important to clients—their homes, businesses, and their families. And, when disaster strikes, or accidents happen, an independent insurance agent is there to help families navigate in a time of need. By representing more than one insurance carrier, independent agents provide clients with the best product at the best price and unmatched local service. Embrace your independence—consider becoming an independent insurance agent today.
The independent insurance agency fellowship will offer transferable skills, employer provided training and licensing.
