Hiring Our Heroes.
Turn military experience into independent insurance agency excellence.
The Big “I” Diversity Council is partnering with Hiring Our Heroes (HOH) to place military service members who are in their last three months of 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.
To help independent agency owners tap into this unique workforce segment, 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.
Weekly Schedule & Time Commitment.
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.
For the Military Pros.
The insurance industry provides stable, lucrative careers. And with more than 25,000 independent agency locations in the Big “I” community, there are opportunities nationwide.
Independent insurance agents work to protect what’s important—their clients’ homes, businesses and 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 new-found independence and consider becoming an independent insurance agent today.
