The Broker Academy creates a pathway to license health insurance brokers by recruiting from, and building the skillsets of, those who live and work in historically underserved communities throughout Connecticut. The Program was created as part of AHCT’s mission to increase the rate of the insured and reduce health disparities in the state.

You can train to be a Connecticut health broker at upcoming training sessions.

Program applicants must be 18 years or older, hold a high school diploma or GED, have one to three letters of recommendation and have community service experience. The Broker Academy is open to all Connecticut residents and preference will be given to applicants who reside or work in underserved areas.

Accepted Broker Academy students will receive free training, a five-month mentorship with an experienced broker, professional development and program support. Weekly training sessions for program readiness will be held in May and in-person classes begin June 5.

“There is only one week left to apply to the Broker Academy,” said Access Health CT Chief Executive Officer James Michel. “This program is a great opportunity for those considering their first career or looking to make a career change, and a chance to positively impact the communities they serve as a broker.”
