An Innovative Approach to Agent Education

Committed to helping its independent agents grow, Travelers is pleased to launch AgentU, a three-pronged approach to agent education: classroom, virtual and field-based. This platform provides multiple opportunities for learning through traditional classroom instruction, online classes and regional seminars.

“Agents look to us for training,” said Nancy Fitzgibbon, vice president of Enterprise Training at Travelers. “AgentU provides educational options designed to help agencies grow their business.”

AgentU is a comprehensive training program custom-designed to meet the training and continuing education needs of Travelers’ agency partners.

“In these economic times we’re proud to be investing in our agents by creating a training solution that’s available 24/7 and is fast and easy to use,” said Patrick Kinney, president, Field Management. “AgentU provides agents with multiple options so they can choose when, where and how they want to learn, and most importantly, maximize their sales opportunities.”
