Invest News

As a current Invest board member, I have the opportunity to hear from educators and students on their positive experience with the program and course curriculum that the Invest Program provides.

Our industry is approaching a critical juncture as many key insurance leaders retire in the coming years and we desperately need to introduce and educate young people on the benefits of working in this business.
 
The relationships that Invest has built in the education community are critical to insuring that we don’t encounter a labor issue in the insurance industry in the near future.

I learned about insurance in my Invest class at Sacopee Valley High School (Maine) and spent some time at Hanover Insurance as an intern.
 
After working in a few different agencies- learning about processing and claims- I was offered a job at Chalmers Insurance Group. There I developed additional skills working in various departments and my manager helped me to join the company’s leadership program.
 
I was able to advance quickly and eventually became a Commercial Accounts Manager. It’s a job I really enjoy and Chalmers continues to be a great place for me to pursue my career.
 
I encourage high school students to learn as much as they can about insurance because it will always be a part of their lives. And if you choose to work in this industry, you can have a rewarding career helping others protect their future.
