Heffernan Insurance Brokers Converts Interns to Hires as Industry Faces 400,000-Position Shortfall
NewsData.io · United States · Aug 25, 2026
Heffernan Insurance Brokers completed its 2026 summer internship program with a structured intern-to-hire pipeline, identifying specific participants for its Producer Track and having a former intern lead candidate assessment. Two interns also won national Council Foundation Scholarships. The program addresses a looming workforce crisis: the BLS projects 50% of the insurance workforce will retire over the next 15 years, leaving more than 400,000 positions unfilled while fewer than 25% of current workers are under 35. Heffernan's model — pairing real business projects with explicit hiring criteria — offers a replicable template for staffing and recruiting firms serving the insurance sector.
