Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty (AGCS) Africa is preparing young graduates into corporate and industrial insurance experts through a program, which saw Chivaan Pillay and Ryan Brown appointed as underwriting assistants. The sector is a highly specialist field which requires specialists in the analysis and evaluation of complex and expert risks.
“Experienced and skilled underwriters are in short supply in South Africa and as a global insurer and employer AGCS is fully committed to developing youth in the country to become leading underwriters,” says AGCS Africa Head of Human Resources Bridgette Benting. “We do this by thoroughly preparing them through work based experience, vocational training, mentoring and coaching.”
