VSK University Rector talked about national insurance market at IEM TSU

On November 7-9 IEM TSU participated in Tomsk International Forum “Reformation of Education”.

The VSK University Rector Alexander Anapolskiy carried out a project session “Training of Insurance Market Personnel: New Model of Education”.

The participants had a look at the job listing of VSK, among those: a contact center specialist, sales manager and other. According to Alexander it is not necessary to have a degree to start a career. The employer is interested in students starting working as early as possible.

During the business game the participants completed a task by determining a list of skills necessary for an insurance market expert. For example, a professional besides knowing Russian legislation must have a creative approach to negotiations.

Then, the teammates worked out an adaptation plans simultaneously discussing roles and functions of new insurance companies’ employees and employers. One of the important ideas was that training must continue throughout the whole career.

Nowadays the insurance sector, like many others, suffers staff shortages, therefore the business needs to cooperate closely with the education field. The main requirement of any company is maximal shortening of the new personnel transition period to minimize the expenses. We are participating in the Forum because we want to correlate and synchronize requirements of the employers and capabilities of the universities, Alexander Anapolskiy said.
