One of the most effective ways to generate a ready pool of productive talent is by providing students, specialized training and practical experience early in their careers. Keeping this approach in mind, we have launched Smart Move Internship Program to partner with multiple educational institutions across the country.” “Through this Internship Program we look forward to providing a strong platform for students to learn, earn and build careers in specialized functions of life insurance.” he added. Prof. V N Rajasekharan Pillai, Vice Chancellor, IGNOU said, "Today, one of the end objectives of most teaching learning transactions is gainful employment in areas of ones own choice and aptitude. IGNOU is acting as a dynamic interface by providing an interactive platform for corporate world on one hand and the learner population on the other side, to facilitate learning. One such initiative has been the country wide launch of an internship program with Max New York Life Insurance Company." Interested students, as part of their internship will be provided three days of intense training on all concepts and aspects of Life Insurance, the organization and the recruitment process. This knowledge gained at the initial stage of their academic pursuit will be instrumental to their professional career. Trained Interns can recruit agent advisors and on each successful recruitment of an agent advisor, they will be remunerated as per Smart Move Internship Program. In addition to the rewards and recognition schemes offered by Max New York Life, if an intern recruits three or more agents, he qualifies for a pre placement interview, clearing which he may be absorbed as a permanent employee.
