Insurance Careers Month
What’s HEATING UP this February? Insurance Careers and Education Pathways!Once again, Career Connections will be joining in what is now a global initiative of marking February as Insurance Careers Month. This is a great vehicle to amplify our messaging and engagement with our core audiences about the rewarding careers available in the property & casualty insurance industry! Of course, conversations about career paths tie in nicely to those about education. February is also the Insurance Institute’s National Education Month with a focus on 2018 on-boarding and early career!

Feed the Minds of Youth 2017
November 1st, 2017 marked our annual Feed the Minds of Youth/Take Your Kids to Work day which included over 70 luncheons and events held at local Institute chapter offices and insurance organizations across Canada. The combined efforts of everyone supporting this day resulted in over 1100 grade 9 students being reached as they learned about careers in the insurance industry. We couldn’t be more thankful for the tremendous support of everyone who was involved in putting together these events and are pleased to report yet another round of extremely positive feedback from participants, parents, and partners. Please see below for some highlights!![Canada Career Month Logo](/-/media/Career-Connections/Images/Canada-Career-Month-Logo.png?h=512&w=512&la=en&hash=F5CFFB4DCEE51B68D175189082A2B13C)
