Building A Sustainable Talent Solution
for the Risk and Insurance Industry
The Industry's Growing Need for Talent Impacts Us All
The risk and insurance industry faces a serious talent shortage, compounded by a lack of awareness among younger generations. Powerful partnerships are needed! By supporting early talent initiatives, our Partners play a pivotal role in developing tomorrow’s industry leaders today. Together, we can bolster the early talent pipeline to meet this growing need.
Insurance Is Experiencing
a Severe Talent Shortage
The Risk and Insurance Industry is amid a severe talent shortage that has grown for many years. Punctuated by the COVID-19 pandemic, increases in retirement-aged employees, and amplified by a limited awareness of career opportunities for younger generations, companies and agencies across the industry are left scrambling to hire quality talent.
Given that the industry is complex and hard to navigate, the need for partners committed to growing & diversifying the talent pipeline is greater than ever.
Powerful Partnerships are Needed
The Emerging Talent Partners Program gives risk management and insurance organizations throughout the industry a unique opportunity to expand and diversify the talent pipeline. By supporting our high school, college and university, and apprenticeship programs administered by The National Alliance for Insurance Education & Research, Emerging Talent Partners help grow and cultivate talent.
The Risk & Insurance Education Alliance’s Emerging Talent Programs offer a sustainable talent solution. Through the CISR High School and University Associates Programs, students gain technical training, industry immersion, and the opportunity to earn nationally recognized designations BEFORE they graduate! Future Agents, Customer Service Representatives, Brokers, Underwriters, and more are earning the CISR, CIC, and CRM designations, providing a significant advantage as they enter the workforce.
Industry partnerships make our talent initiatives possible.
Funding from our Emerging Talent Partners supports high school licenses, FREE digital textbooks, scholarships, industry immersion like the new Virtual Career Connections summer event, and so much more! Local industry partners bolster student success through volunteer speakers, job shadows, and work-based learning opportunities.
NEW for Summer 2025: Virtual Career Connections
