“The management of risk is a ubiquitous problem in need of solutions,” according to University of South Carolina Professor Robert Hartwig. “As such, we encourage students to not only double major, but to seek internships and careers in industries where their skills are in demand.” Hartwig, who serves as director of the Risk and Uncertainty Management Center at USC’s Darla Moore School of Business, says his goal is to produce graduates with a broad range of skills. #careerdevelopment #riskmanagement #insurance

With our powers combined... we can solve the talent gap! 💍 🌐 It really is such a complex issue, it can be hard to know where to begin. However, as we engage with talent and better understand their needs, potential areas of focus emerge. Groups like Gamma Iota Sigma are tackling one of those areas we need to work on - supporting students' interest in RMI careers. I'm still navigating the best ways to leverage my own talents and sphere of influence, but I am confident that all our efforts are making an impact! #InsuranceCareers

The insurance industry has been ramping up its recruitment and retention efforts. By rebranding to enhance its appeal, adopting new technologies that resonate with younger talent, and establishing internship and apprenticeship programs, the industry has made significant strides in attracting and nurturing new professionals. These initiatives are designed to strengthen the talent pipeline, ensuring that the industry remains dynamic and well-equipped to meet future challenges. What changes are you witnessing in the industry as a result of theses efforts? Would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below. #Insurance #Recruitment #Retention #Talent

It's encouraging to read articles like this one, highlighting the busy market this year, particularly with a significant number of mid-level to senior specialist roles available. However, it is concerning to note that a large portion of employees in the industry are over 40 years old, a higher proportion compared to a decade ago. This raises the question of how the Lloyd’s Market can attract young talent. Anthony Webster and I have been actively engaging with multiple schools for the last couple of years, conducting 2-hour sessions on various topics such as CV writing, interview skills, role expectations, and industry insights. One of the key aspects of these sessions is the open room conversation, where we discuss career opportunities, particularly in the Insurance and Legal sectors which we specialise in. While apprenticeship programs and graduate schemes are viable options, the challenge lies in the lack of awareness among young individuals about the Insurance market and Lloyd’s. Simply attending career days at sixth forms and universities may not be sufficient to spark interest. To truly engage young talent, it is essential to start the conversation at a younger age. This could involve conducting assemblies, visiting different classes, and providing more exposure to the industry to pique their interest early on (and not just in Grammar schools). By increasing awareness and understanding of the opportunities within the Lloyd’s Market, we can attract a new generation of talent to the sector. #InsuranceIndustry #LloydsMarket #YoungTalent #CareerDevelopment #IndustryEngagement #EducationInitiatives https://lnkd.in/g2brr5qW
