In Case You Missed It

There's a major challenge facing our profession.

The need for highly-qualified, well-trained professionals is already significant; and within a few years, it will be drastic.

VAIA is tackling that challenge head-on with every intention of changing the game for your organization. This two-minute video gives a great overview of what we have been working on for the past year, plus we've listed additional details below.

How We're Changing the Game

• Partnership with the Community College Workforce Alliance to deepen training of individuals entering the insurance industry.
• Offering a one-semester course beginning in January 2018 that will include basic insurance content, in addition to preparation for the licensing exam.
• Initial course offering in Richmond with plans to expand offerings across the Commonwealth.
• Host an introductory event to match newly-trained course participants with those organization that have positions available.
