VAIA
VIRGINIA ASSOCIATION OF INSURANCE AGENTS
Why We are Here
Our purpose is education. First, we help consumers understand and feel more at ease about insurance, which is an increasingly complex topic that can seem intimidating. We also work to promote the insurance profession as the amazing career opportunity that it is. Many people don’t realize that insurance is truly about helping people when they need it the most; if you have a heart for helping others, you’ll find our profession very rewarding.
How VAIA Makes A Difference
We are committed to showing the human side of the insurance industry.
- Partnerships: The Community College Workforce Alliance, InVEST, and the Jump$tart Coalition are just a few of the organizations we’ve teamed up with, in addition to our many loyal partners within the industry.
- Education & Training: From license preparation to our semester-long training course to informal education in the community, we help people learn about all aspects of insurance.
- Volunteering: You’ll see us at schools and community events across Virginia on a regular basis.
- Career Connections: We help match hiring organizations with highly motivated, qualified individuals.
- Veterans Program: Veterans and their spouses attend our pre-licensing classes at no charge.
- Scholarships: We remove part or all of the financial barrier to beginning an insurance career through a number of available scholarships generously supported by partnering organizations.
