TDI Offers Resources on Insurance Careers

AUSTIN - The Texas Department of Insurance has a new interactive resource on the agency’s website (http://www.tdi.state.tx.us/commish/careers.html) describing careers available in the insurance industry: from agents to underwriters to jobs many outside the industry may not have considered.

With links to Texas Workforce Commission resources, career seekers can check out job prospects and training requirements for various insurance-related professions and can watch occupational videos to gain a better understanding of what it's like to work in the field of insurance.

"The insurance industry currently employs more than 2.5 million people in the United States. The new Careers In Insurance page is meant to encourage the next generation of insurance professionals to explore all the opportunities available in the industry," said Texas Insurance Commissioner Mike Geeslin. "We must work harder at diversifying the leadership of insurance companies, enriching the decision-making that affects our communities across the state and nation."
