Last week Dave Garcia, president of Rancho Mesa, met with the leadership team of State Compensation Insurance Fund (SCIF) to assist SCIF in their plans to introduce a workers’ compensation training curriculum for industry producers.

“I was honored to be included and to share my insights and thoughts as to what would be beneficial to producers in general, but in particular to new producers within our industry,” said Garcia. “It’s commendable that SCIF feels the need and understands the importance of educating producers on all facets of the workers’ compensation industry. It will only help our industry become stronger and more professional.”

SCIF is working diligently on refining content and testing the best delivery methods in hopes to roll out the training programs before the end of 2022.

Dave concluded, “We [at Rancho Mesa] do most of our coverage and sales training in-house. In fact, we recently formalized the training into a ‘Rancho Mesa New Producer Playbook,’ but welcome any outside sources such as SCIF’s workers’ compensation training to help round it out and provide additional content.”
