Testimonials from Students Like You
“‘Tell me and I forget; show me and I remember; involve me and I understand.’ This quote summarizes exactly what InVEST has done for me. Throughout the time I took InVEST in my junior year at St. Petersburg Catholic, I learned a lot about the insurance industry, but most importantly, I learned valuable life skills that will be with me through all of my future endeavors. I learned all of this through the school-to-work approach that InVEST offers.” – Amy LaVenture, St. Petersburg Catholic HIgh School, St. Petersburg, Florida “InVEST has given me a better view of what it’s like to be in charge of a company and the concept of how to be successful with your co-workers, employees, and customers. My future plans also include starting my own company. After InVEST, I cannot think of any better industry to be in than insurance.” – Mike Choyama, Dr. Phillips High School, Orlando, Florida “InVEST was highly beneficial to my senior year. Throughout the entire year, I have been wavering back and forth between what I want to major in when I’m in college. Because of the agency simulation offered by InVEST, I have decided to major in sales and marketing.” – Tracy Turner, Dr. Phillips High School, Orlando, Florida “It was opportunities offered to me by InVEST that gave me the chance to attend the Youth Employment Skills Academy. Over 120 business executives worked with students from around the state of Connecticut to help them learn more about proper conduct within the workplace, team working strategies, and how to cope with difficult co-workers. This experience helped form the basis of my business skills which I will use throughout my career.” – Andre´ Martin, East Hartford High School, Hartford, Connecticut Free Resume Posting Available to InVEST Students
