INVEST, a school-to-work insurance program, teams with high school and college educators to provide a useful insurance curriculum for students. With the help of INVEST liaisons (insurance professionals), students have the opportunity for job shadow days, internships or even careers after graduating from INVEST. InVEST provides all materials created to appeal to millennials, including lesson plans, textbooks and activities. Best of all, its totally FREE. Founded in 1970, InVEST began educating students in insurance to become better insurance consumers. Over the years, it has expanded to also teach insurance agency and company operations and encourage high school students to pursue careers in the industry. Opportunities for insurance professionals to interact with students are established by InVEST working with educators across the country. InVEST volunteers – agency and company representatives – work closely with teachers so students can get a real-life perspective of the industry by visiting schools and offering field trips, job shadow events and internships. Through these efforts, InVEST is spreading the word about insurance.
