A graduate training scheme, exclusively targeted at the insurance industry will be launched in London to improve personnel skills in the sector.
Introduced in Amsterdam in 1999, Sure Talent takes graduate students with business-relate degrees and trains them in 'hard' and 'soft' skills.
'Hard' skills such as ACII, as well as 'soft' skills like presentations and client handling will be included in the scheme.
During the two years of the project, the trainees are seconded on projects to insurance firms. Either as a solution to a personnel shortage or as part of long-term strategic changes, secondments are open-ended.
The firm has been voted as one of the Netherlands top ten graduate employers. Some of its existing clients include: Swiss Life, Axa, ABN Amro and ING.
