The Risk & Insurance Education Alliance is Pleased to Present:
A Summer 2025 Engagement Program
FREE and Open to High School & University Students New to the Insurance Industry

Empowering the Next Generation of Risk & Insurance Leaders

Virtual Career Connections is designed for high school and university students who are curious about careers that make a real impact. 

Why is the Alliance hosting this?
As a nonprofit committed to education and professional development, the Risk & Insurance Education Alliance created this series to:

  • Provide visibility into real career paths and professional roles.
  • Help students build career-ready skills early.
  • Connect industry professionals with emerging talent.

We're aiming to bridge the gap between curious students and an industry that needs fresh ideas, new energy, and future leaders.
