The talent crisis within the insurance industry is not to be taken lightly. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, almost 500,000 insurance employees will retire soon, and a survey by The Institutes found that eight in 10 millennials have limited knowledge of insurance career opportunities.
