Corporate Responsibility
Vertafore recognizes that everyone has an active role to play in helping to combat injustices and to create lasting, positive systemic change. To support the Black community and the broader causes of racial and social justice, Vertafore created Voices for Change, a series of fireside chats with leaders from the Black community and beyond to discuss issues of race, social justice, and diversity.
Additionally, Vertafore’s InternX initiative was formed to bring candidates from underrepresented communities to STEM internships. The program is helpful for both Vertafore and InternX team members, providing job experience with a leading tech company and growing industry. They join the Vertafore team to work hard, learn, and contribute on their way to successful careers, whether in insurance software or another field of their choosing.
