Job description

Learn the Business. Build Your Future. Launch Your Own Farmers Agency.

Have you ever wanted to own your own business, but wished you had the right training, mentorship, and support before taking that step?

Farmers Insurance offers a unique Agency Ownership Mentorship Program designed for driven individuals who want to learn what it takes to successfully run an insurance agency before opening one of their own.

This 12-month mentorship opportunity allows you to work directly alongside an experienced Farmers mentor agent, gaining hands‑on experience in agency operations, sales, client relationships, team development, marketing, retention, and business growth.

You will not be learning from the sidelines. You will be actively developing the skills, habits, and knowledge needed to build and lead a successful agency.

As you grow through the program and reach the required premium goals, you may have the opportunity to graduate into your own Farmers agency — without needing the initial capital review typically required for agency ownership.

This program is ideal for someone who has the drive to become a business owner, but wants a structured path, real‑world experience, and mentorship before launching independently.

What This Opportunity Offers

• Learn directly from an experienced mentor agent
• Gain hands‑on experience running and growing an agency
• Develop sales, leadership, and business management skills
• Build confidence before stepping into ownership
• Work toward graduating into your own Farmers agency
• Potentially bypass the initial capital review upon successful completion
• Receive training, coaching, and support throughout the program
• Represent a nationally recognized insurance brand

We are looking for entrepreneurial‑minded individuals who are motivated, coachable, competitive, and ready to build something bigger than a traditional career.

Whether you have a background in sales, leadership, insurance, customer service, management, or business development, this program can provide the roadmap, mentorship, and opportunity to help you take the next step.
