San Francisco Business Times Article
In my diverse client portfolio, one client/program was recently profiled in the San Francisco Business Times. The California Insurance Careers Program is a unique collaboration between the insurance industry and California’s community college system.
The insurance industry in California is big ($106 billion!), and hires scores of entry level workers every year. California’s community college system was well positioned to train these workers. Backed by a Dept of Labor grant ($1.2 million), the program includes an approved curriculum, student outreach, internships, and job matching through a central website: www.ca-icp.com.The program is a good model for how industry and community colleges can work together effectively.
