Who Should Join?
We invested 18 months talking with insurance executives, advocates, and educators. What we found was startling. Most leaders have a vague understanding of the neurodivergent conditions, especially ADHD and Autism. However, most insurance leaders are unaware of the critical role neurodivergent adults play in the insurance industry. This training intends to change that 15 minutes at a time.
#1 Employers
Insurance has never been a highly sought industry. Today, insurance struggles even more to attract recent graduates than when most of us started. Embracing neurodiversity will make your organizaation stand out as an employer. We know which jobs the industry can't fill and how to create skills based assessments that expand the pool of talent you are recruiting from.
#2 Job Seekers
We never ask you to disclose your neurodivergent condition. We think everyone thinks differently and use skills based assessments to measure your fit for an insurance career. You may be struggling at work, or to find your first job because you are neurodivergent, and we can help there too!
#3 Supporters
In this course you will learn that insurance is filled with neurodivergent brains. As a result, many insurance professionals have loved ones who are neurodivergent. The first step for all supporters is to inform yourself. Awareness Certification explains what we do, why, and how to get services.
