Apprenticeships Overcome Obstacles to Employment
IH launched its Apprentice Fellowships to remove the barriers that keep neurodiverse brains from getting an insurance job—limited interviewing experience, weak professional networks, and little exposure to an industry that loses more than 400,000 skilled workers every four years.
Yes, It's Paid Work
IH Insurance Apprentices earn a weekly stipend through the IH Insurance Fellowship. Apprentices complete margin-producing tasks that directly fund the coaching, credentialing, and supervision they receive. The result is a self-sustaining system that builds both talent and trust—at the same time.
Where to Start
Candidates can be overlooked simply because traditional hiring processes don’t show what they’re really capable of. This application is different. We want to see how you think, what matters to you, and how you express yourself—clearly, directly, and in your own words.
