Those who are interested in participating in this free educational opportunity should call 800-542-6081 to learn enroll. Interest in the program is strong, and seats are limited, so registering as quickly as possible is advised.

As an added feature, for residents who on re-employment assistance, Workforce Solutions will conduct an onsite workshop which will satisfy work search requirements for the week.

Students who participate in the free training are not required to work for Convey Health Solutions or any of the program partners upon course completion. However, students who complete the Health Insurance U Program and pass the licensing exam will be eligible to apply for currently open positions at Convey Health Solutions, as well as when positions become available in the future. Also, the cost of the health insurance licensing exam will be reimbursed by Convey Health Solutions for all students who pass the Health Insurance U Program and pass the State licensing exam.

Education Opportunities in a Growing Career Field

Healthcare is one of the nation's fastest growing employment fields. The number of licensed health insurance agents in the U.S. is set to be out-paced by the growing demand for their services – particularly to support the 70 million Baby Boomers currently aging into Medicare eligibility.

According to the U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics, "Employment of insurance sales agents is expected to increase by 12 percent over the 2008–18 period. Sales of health insurance, long-term-care insurance, and other comprehensive financial planning services designed specifically for the elderly are expected to rise sharply as the population ages."
