WebCE announced a strategic partnership with Invest, a 501(c)(3) educational trust administered by the Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America, to become the non-profit's preferred national provider of insurance pre-licensing education. The collaboration will give high school and community college students direct access to license exam preparation, aiming to reduce barriers to entry for aspiring insurance professionals.
The insurance industry faces a significant demographic challenge, with a large portion of its workforce approaching retirement. This partnership directly addresses that gap by providing students with WebCE's industry-leading pre-licensing coursework across Invest's nationwide network of schools. “The only sustainable solution to address the insurance industry's looming demographic cliff is a robust pipeline of new talent,” said Tabitha Richardson, WebCE's Director of Product and Market Development for Financial Services. “Providing high school and community college students with the same caliber of education used by top insurance professionals ensures that the industry's next generation is ready for the complexities of the market.”
Invest students will have access to WebCE's complete pre-licensing library, including Life & Health, Property & Casualty, and Personal Lines courses. The platform features WiseBot AI, offering real-time answers through Chat Tutor, and an Exam Readiness Score that analyzes course activity to assess preparation. Additional support includes Study Guide Workbooks, My Study Planner, Exam Tutor for unlimited state exam simulations and custom practice tests, and EXCEED reinforcements—short microlearning videos that boost retention with practical applications relevant throughout students' careers.
“This partnership will help us provide more students with direct access to pre-licensing education, regardless of where they live,” said Whitnee Dillard, Executive Director of Invest. “By removing geographic barriers, we are accelerating pathways into the insurance industry for the next generation of leaders.”
The collaboration builds on Invest's educational network, which serves students through classroom instruction and competitive business programs. WebCE's insurance pre-licensing will extend throughout Invest's footprint, ensuring students across the country have the resources needed to enter the industry.
