Whatever your education, training, or job experience, a career in the insurance or financial services industry may be a good fit for you, your family, and your future.”
Recent data reported by the Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget (DTMB) shows that the Michigan financial activities sector, which includes both the insurance industry and financial services industries, added more than 4,400 new jobs in the first quarter of 2022, with 1,300 added in March alone.
