Why the Insurance Industry is Rethinking How it Trains New Talent

Every year, the insurance industry talks about how to bring in fresh talent, and for good reason. It is a career path full of opportunity, especially for the next generation. But in 2026, something exciting is happening: the conversation is finally evolving.

We are not just asking how to attract more people into the industry. We are rethinking how we train them once they are here. And that shift is unlocking real potential.

And the solution? It starts with how and where we license.

It starts with educators like Aceable Insurance.
