IIAT and Other Industry Groups Establish Internship, Scholarship Programs for Minority Students: "The Independent Insurance Agents of Texas reported that it is building an IIAT internship program to encourage minority college students in Texas to learn about careers in the insurance industry. The program will be part of a joint effort with Huston-Tillotson College in Austin, and other insurance organizations, including American Institute for CPCU, the Insurance Institute of America, and the Texas Property and Casualty Insurance Guaranty Association, and others.
Minorities are reportedly the fastest growing segment of the population, but they often overlook well-paying insurance jobs including careers in the independent agency system, according to the IIAT."
