Invest-Discover Insurance. Launch Your Career. The industry you never knew about but wished that you did.
Wednesday July 22, 2026 8:00am - 8:50am EDT
Only too often, people who fall into insurance say, "Every time, I wish I knew about this sooner" or "I wish I had this in high school." While often overlooked as a boring sales field, the industry actually offers incredible stability, work-life balance, and lucrative, meaningful careers across 51 distinct pathways for individuals with or without degrees. With 400,000 jobs opening up in the next five years, this completely free curriculum provides students with an untapped resource to understand the true value and diverse opportunities within the sector. Supported by an LMS and real-life local professionals, the program bridges the gap between the classroom and a thriving, unexpected career.
