Apprenticeship Program

A smart way to hire and build your future workforce.

Build Your Talent Pipeline From the Ground Up

Introducing the Foundation Apprenticeship Program, a two year earn-while-you-learn program that delivers job-ready, talent directly to your firm.

Benefits of Apprenticeships:

 

  1. A turn-key recruitment and training program for your firm. Train and develop pre-screened, ready-to-hire talent to meet your needs.
  2. A diverse and future-ready workforce. Apprenticeship attracts a diverse community of candidates, as well as career changers who might otherwise never have considered a career in insurance.
  3. Apprentices earn a degree and industry designation. Participants earn an Associate of Applied Science in Business Administration and either the Professional Risk Consultant (PRC®) or Professional Employee Benefits Consultant (PEBC™) designation.
  4. A strong return on your investment. Apprentices reach billable capacity 40% faster, generate positive revenue by year two, and convert to full-time roles at rates of 90% or more — a cost-effective model designed to meet your firm’s talent and growth priorities.
