Change and growth in risk management practices and demographics has morphed education programs, ranging from basic to master's programs, classroom-based and online, according to education experts.
With baby boomers holding high positions in the industry leaving the workforce, those replacing them often need introductory insurance courses, said Daniel Kugler, assistant treasurer, risk management, Snap-On Inc. in Kenosha Wis., and director student involvement for the Risk and Insurance Management Society.
"People search out technical education to broaden their perspective," he said. "They're looking for courses such as the fundamentals of insurance. Most have been placed into risk management positions and don't have risk management experience. They need to learn the basics about an insurance policy."
