Context
The LMA and the IUA have launched two online claims job simulations to improve visibility of career opportunities in claims.
Key points to note and next actions
The online simulations aim to provide students with an immersive, hands-on learning experience. The initiative, formed through the 2023 LMA Claims Strategy, is informed by findings in the LMA’s 2023 Heads of Claims Talent Survey, which identified an urgent need to attract candidates into the early claims talent pipeline.
- The two simulations have been developed together with Forage, a platform with a global reach of over six million enrolments and collaborations with universities and charitable organisations.
- The platform enables students to experience work on the job, practice their skills and build confidence to source a career.
- In addition, the simulations connect to the London Market Group’s (LMG) London Insurance Life platform, giving access to career guides and job opportunities in specialty insurance.
