How to choose a career in insurance.

Risk Management? Underwriting? Loss Adjusting? All are potential career paths in the insurance industry and the Chartered Insurance Institute’s bright and interactive ‘Discover Risk’ website is aimed at helping students, graduates and others navigate their choices. Its career advice includes personal case studies from all areas of the industry and definitions and tips for each specialist risk area. It defines the role of an underwriter, for example, as someone who assesses risks and decides whether or not to accept applications for insurance cover, and on what terms. The aim is to minimise exposure for their company and help it to make a profit.” The Chartered Insurance Institute is the world’s largest professional body for those working in insurance, risk and financial services.
