What other ways can my organization get involved?

Participate in “Careers in Insurance” Events 

• Career Connections has created partnerships with Career centres at local colleges and universities, allowing industry specific career fairs to take place on campus. Insurance organizations have the opportunity to set up a booth to showcase the different career opportunities for students. Prior to or during the event, Career Connections will also host a panel conversation with a cross section of industry professionals sharing their career journey, industry insights and tips for success.

Participate in Take our Kids to Work Day / "Feed the Minds of Youth" 

• This event coincides with The Learning Partnership's annual "Take Our Kids to Work" (TOKW) Day, usually the first Wednesday in November, when grade nine students can accompany their parent or guardian to work. For those insurance organizations who participate in this annual event, there is an opportunity to take part in the Insurance Institute's "Feed the Minds of Youth." Each year, local institutes and chapters invite the insurance community to partake in a lunch event that brings together a variety of industry professionals with students. Typically TOKW exposes a student to one job. With "Feed the Minds of Youth," we want to demonstrate to all students the many roles within the insurance industry. Learn More

Post job opportunities on the Career Connections Job Site 

• We would like to encourage all employers to promote available positions (from entry-level to executive roles) or to search the resume database. As a self-contained, easy-to-use, on-line service, the Job Site is a resource to help employers recruit new talent. In addition to promoting the site to Institute students and graduates, our outreach in post-secondary schools directs interested candidates to post their resume to the Job Site and search for career opportunities. Watch for continued growth and development of the Job Site. Learn More
