Fall Counselor Apprenticeship

Fall 2026 Benefits Counselor Apprenticeship

Upper Room Solutions, LLC is seeking motivated students and emerging professionals for this sales-focused employee benefits role. Benefits Counselors meet with employees from existing client groups, explain available benefit options, identify coverage needs, and complete benefit enrollments. This position focuses on enrolling employees in benefits and does not require employer prospecting or cold calling for new clients.

The program begins in Fall 2026 but is not limited to one semester. Successful apprentices may continue with Upper Room Solutions beyond the fall as they develop their knowledge, confidence, and client-service skills.

Selected apprentices will be required to obtain an Accident, Health, and Life Insurance License before conducting licensed enrollment activities. Upper Room Solutions provides study materials and exam‑preparation resources at no cost. Apprentices are responsible for the cost of the licensing exam and required background check. The license belongs to the apprentice and may remain with them after leaving Upper Room Solutions, provided state renewal and continuing‑education requirements are maintained.
