WebCE has 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. This collaboration will give thousands of high school and community college students direct access to license exam preparation, reducing barriers to entry for aspiring insurance professionals.
Invest has long worked to educate students about insurance, financial services, and risk management while cultivating talent for the industry. With a large portion of the insurance workforce approaching retirement, there is an urgent need to bridge the gap between retiring expertise and new professionals. This partnership addresses that challenge by offering 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 now have access to WebCE's complete pre-licensing library, including Life & Health, Property & Casualty, and Personal Lines courses. The platform features WiseBot AI, giving students real-time answers through Chat Tutor, and an Exam Readiness Score that analyzes course activity to assess preparation. Digital support is paired with Study Guide Workbooks and My Study Planner to create a personalized, self-directed study plan. Exam Tutor bolsters performance with unlimited state exam simulations and custom practice tests, while EXCEED reinforcements provide short microlearning videos that boost retention with practical, real-world applications that remain relevant well into 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 extensive educational network, which serves students through classroom instruction and competitive business programs. WebCE's insurance pre-licensing will now extend throughout Invest's footprint, ensuring students across the country have access to the resources they need to enter the industry and thrive.
