Congrats, Grads! Now Let’s Talk About Insurance

Graduation marks an exciting transition from campus life to career-building, independence, and adult responsibilities. However, while new grads are focused on landing jobs and finding apartments, proper insurance coverage often falls off the radar. That’s where proactive agents can step in and provide essential guidance at just the right time.

Essential Insurance for Recent Graduates

As young adults move out and start managing their own finances, here are the key coverages they may need:

  • Auto Insurance – Many grads are aging out of their parents’ policies. Help them find affordable, customized auto insurance that fits their lifestyle, whether they’re commuting daily or using public transit occasionally.

  • Renters Insurance – With many moving into their first apartment, renters’ insurance becomes crucial. It protects against theft, fire, and accidental damage, and often costs less than a streaming subscription.

  • Health Insurance – Once they’re no longer eligible for a parent’s plan (typically at age 26), grads need individual coverage. Assist them in exploring options through the marketplace or employer-sponsored plans.

How to Market Insurance to Young Adults
  • Use Social Media Platforms Like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube – Bite-sized, visual content goes a long way. Use reels or videos to demystify deductibles, explain renters insurance, or highlight real-life “what if” scenarios.

  • Create a First-Time Insurance Buyer’s Guide – Offer a free downloadable resource that breaks down key policies in simple, relatable language.

  • Engage with Local Schools – Partner with colleges to offer workshops, webinars, or Q&A sessions geared toward graduating seniors.

Final Takeaway

Graduates are stepping into independence and insurance is a critical piece of that puzzle. By showing up as a trusted advisor now, you position yourself as the go-to expert for years to come. Help them build a confident, secure foundation with proper insurance coverage for adulthood.
