The insurance industry can trace its roots back to the 1600s in the U.K., and while the perils that are covered have changed significantly over the years, the need for insurance has expanded to mitigate all sorts of risks ranging from semi-autonomous cars to complex and specialty claims and the new sharing economy.
A significant number of professionals will retire in the next few years. This Insurance Speak podcast features a conversation with six students who attend the Maurice R. Greenberg School of Risk Management, Insurance & Actuarial Science at St. John's University in New York City.
The students shared their insights on how insurers can attract and hire the next generation of professionals, explained why the insurance industry appeals to them as a career choice, discussed the internships and opportunities the program provides and forecasted where they see the industry's future. They also participated in a webinar that provided information about the St. John's program and a more in-depth look at these issues.
