InVEST Classroom
"Many students embark on their InVEST journey unsure of what to expect, but as the end approaches, they can say with certitude and sincerity that it has proven to be an experience that carries over into life beyond graduation." Andrea Hernandez, InVEST graduate, St. Petersburg Catholic High School, FL
InVEST is a unique program that educates high school and college students on insurance, financial services and risk management and encourages them to pursue careers in the industry. Students learn risk management, auto, homeowner and life/health insurance in an interactive environment with guest speakers and a chance to run their own business selling and serving insurance policies. InVEST teams educators with representatives from the insurance industry to provide insurance instruction, exposure to an insurance environment and insurance career opportunities to students.
The program's versatile curriculum can be integrated into an existing business, finance or life skills class, or introduced as a standalone course. Teachers are supported by local volunteer liaisons who partner with teachers and offer classroom assistance, industry expertise, mentoring, job shadow opportunities, internships, and job placement assistance.
The benefits of InVEST are far-reaching. Students gain knowledge about insurance, risk management and financial services. Teachers get the support they need to offer insurance, financial services and risk management courses which are centered in the “real world” and offer their students excellent prospects for professional employment after graduation. And our volunteers help to educate future insurance and financial services consumers, attract future employees, develop positive public relations opportunities and provide valuable services to the communities where they live and work.
