Pekin Insurance has joined the Redbird family of supporters as a member of Engage, Career Services’ partner engagement program.
Headquartered in central Illinois, Pekin Insurance has been in business since 1921. It is one of the leading insurers in the state of Illinois, providing multiple lines of insurance, including business, auto, home, and life. The organization offers coverage through a network of independent agents in Arizona, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Ohio, Utah, and Wisconsin, as well as additional states with life, Medicare supplement, and pre-need policies.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Illinois State through its Career Services’ Engage program. This partnership will allow us to connect with talented students from a top university in our area. We look forward to providing opportunities for Redbirds to explore careers through our top-rated internship program and to establish fulfilling careers with Pekin Insurance after graduation,” stated Pekin Insurance Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Jocelyn Duncan.
Through Engage, companies generously provide support that specifically assists Career Services with developing, enhancing, and implementing innovative career development programs and services. In return, participating organizations have many opportunities to connect with Illinois State talent.
“We are pleased to welcome Pekin Insurance to the Redbird family,” said Career Services Associate Director Natalie R. Alexander. “Because they seek candidates from all majors and areas of interest, they allow all Redbirds to spread their wings by utilizing the transferable skills they gained during their college career, both in and outside the classroom. They also have a number of Redbirds who have already participated in their internship program as well. This partnership is truly a win-win for both their business and our students!”
Pekin Insurance joins other Engage partner program members and industry leaders including Archer Daniels Midland, Enterprise, Growmark, MI Homes, and Northwestern Mutual.
