In September 2004, the Insurance Brokers and
Agents of the West (IBA West),
a CA-ICP partner, conducted an in-depth survey of over 2,500 of California’s
insurance employers to measure their workforce needs.
The results highlight both the extreme difficulty employers currently
experience hiring qualified entry-level workers and the strong demand
for training to increase the supply of qualified job candidates. The
CA-ICP survey of insurance industry employers found that:
• 93% currently
find it difficult or very difficult to find qualified entry-level
employees;
• 97% said
that having access to pre-qualified, entry-level candidates with
insurance industry training and work experience would be valuable
to them and the industry as a whole;
• 99% responded
favorably to the proposed curriculum, agreeing that it would be
valuable for their companies as well as for the industry as a whole;
• 57% spend
over $5,100 annually and several respondents spend over $250,000
to find entry level workers.
