give them a good start. Producer New Hire Academy Firms don't always have the internal resources to truly develop early career talent. That's why we've developed the broker and consultant New Hire Academy, brought to you by Cigna Services for Growth and Cigna Sales Institute. Producer New Hire Academy is a two-week intensive training program for those in client-facing roles (producers, emloyee benefit analysts, client managers) who are just starting their professional careers and are new to the employee benefits industry. It was designed and developed by Cigna to provide participants with an engaging overview of the knowledge and skills they’ll need to be successful in the industry. The program focuses on general health care industry knowledge, carrier-agnostic and Cigna product solutions training and soft skill-based courses on topics like presentation competence and consultative selling.

Academy outcomes. The Academy is successful when graduates can demonstrate the following:

›

A strong understanding of employer benefit needs and variety of solutions

›

Professional skills that include consultative selling and presentation delivery

›

Knowledge of tools and resources to facilitate ongoing learning

Details. Participants will need to commit to two oneweek sessions*. Class size is limited so that each participant is ensured a rewarding experience. Training will take place:
