- [00:00:00.510]At Nebraska, we partnered
- [00:00:02.310]with Ameritas Life Insurance Corporation
- [00:00:04.440]to form the Ameritas Emerging Leaders Academy.
- [00:00:07.380]This one-of-a-kind program allows undergraduate students
- [00:00:10.860]to engage with members of the Ameritas team,
- [00:00:14.100]while receiving executive-level training
- [00:00:16.170]from expert facilitators.
- [00:00:17.910]As part of this year-long program,
- [00:00:19.860]you will participate in sessions designed
- [00:00:22.200]to help you build career-related skills
- [00:00:24.870]such as communication, managing change,
- [00:00:27.900]and applying your Clifton strengths.
- [00:00:29.940]You'll gain a deeper understanding of the insurance industry
- [00:00:33.210]and you'll have the chance to consult
- [00:00:35.400]on an innovation project.
- [00:00:37.230]All of this takes place within an environment where students
- [00:00:40.860]of any major can build their knowledge,
- [00:00:42.990]skills, and networks.
- [00:00:45.120]This program has certainly taught me a variety
- [00:00:47.310]of different skills from things as simple
- [00:00:49.500]as effective communication to more interdisciplinary skills,
- [00:00:53.130]like change management, but it's certainly been a variety
- [00:00:56.130]of different topics and skills that I'm able to apply
- [00:00:58.410]within my classes and my everyday life.
- [00:01:00.900]The Ameritas Emerging Leaders Program has taught me a lot
- [00:01:03.390]about interpersonal skills,
- [00:01:04.740]but then also the ability to work with other people.
- [00:01:07.560]So one thing I really looked forward
- [00:01:08.910]to was meeting different students
- [00:01:10.440]from different educational backgrounds.
- [00:01:12.480]That's something I don't see day to day in my class
- [00:01:14.640]and something I look forward to applying into
- [00:01:16.440]my professional career,
- [00:01:17.970]Being able to go to the Ameritas campus,
- [00:01:21.030]being able to network
- [00:01:22.920]and meet with those industry professionals there
- [00:01:25.680]was such a unique experience
- [00:01:27.360]and being able to see how they do things within
- [00:01:29.460]their day-to-day lives,
- [00:01:30.690]I certainly enjoyed that aspect of the program very much.
- [00:01:33.930]And I also found that it was an opportunity that I had
- [00:01:37.140]that most students certainly don't.
- [00:01:39.150]The innovation project was the project that allowed me
- [00:01:42.090]to bring in my experiences from the classroom
- [00:01:44.940]and from the previous sessions of this program
- [00:01:47.640]into a real-world actual problem
- [00:01:50.490]that Ameritas was facing in the insurance industry.
- [00:01:53.610]So it allowed me to really think much more deeply
- [00:01:56.790]and connect all of my prior knowledge to try to go ahead
- [00:02:00.090]and actually help and consult for them.
- [00:02:02.850]Ameritas has been fantastic to work with.
- [00:02:05.160]They've provided an amazing networking opportunity
- [00:02:07.170]with everyone within their staff.
- [00:02:09.000]I've met with people from their managerial team,
- [00:02:11.190]marketing, and sales, so it's really cool to see
- [00:02:13.410]and understand how everyone within those teams work together
- [00:02:16.500]as a whole to make Ameritas who they are.
- [00:02:19.440]All majors, especially those with an interest
- [00:02:22.320]in the insurance industry, are encouraged to apply.
