• Coachable and eager to learn

• Self-motivated and comfortable taking initiative

A current insurance license is not required to apply. We are open to candidates who are not currently licensed and provide paid Property & Casualty and Life & Health licensing as part of the program.

No insurance experience? That's okay, too. You'll receive training, mentorship, and hands-on experience to help you build the skills needed to succeed.

The Protege Program is designed for professionals who want more than a traditional sales career.

You'll start by learning how to sell and serve customers while gaining exposure to the marketing, financial, operational, and leadership responsibilities involved in running an insurance agency.
