The Insurance Industry Career Fair will be held on Feb. 11 from noon to 4 p.m. in the Kent Student Center Ballroom. The event is part of Westfield Insurance’s commitment to its initiatives with Kent State University through education and increased awareness of career opportunities within Ohio’s insurance industry.

The insurance industry is a high-opportunity field with financial stability and is projected to have more than 26,000 jobs by 2020.

The insurance industry offers professional jobs in many areas, such as customer service, underwriting, law, information technology, marketing and communications, human resources, product development, accounting, claims and sales.

Upper-division students and alumni seeking career opportunities are encouraged to attend. Freshman and sophomore students who have not declared a major but who are interested in learning more about the diverse career options within the insurance industry also are encouraged to attend. In addition, a career session for veterans will take place. Kent State faculty and staff are encouraged to share this information with their students.
