The National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors has developed a free, four-session, online class aimed at students from participating colleges who are considering careers in insurance and other financial services sectors.

The Falls Church, Virginia-based group says it created the class because it wants to help meet a growing need for insurance and financial professionals.

“The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects the employment of personal financial advisors will grow 15% from 2021 to 2031, much faster than the average for all occupations,” NAIFA says.

Each 45-minute career class session will debut on the web at noon EST Thursday, starting Feb. 2. After a session premiers, registered students can watch a recorded version.

The first session will provide a general industry overview. Later sessions will cover how students can decide which career path to take, financial services career options and strategies for achieving career success.

One of the scheduled speakers is Chris Gandy, a OneAmerica insurance producer who played basketball in the NBA.

Students can register for the program at security.naifa.org/futureleaders.
