Career Connections

Career Connections Insurance Career Connections raises awareness about great careers in the insurance industry. Brought to you by the Insurance Institute of Canada.

Choosing a career is one of the most important decisions of your life. A career in insurance is not typically a career many people consider as they plan a career path for themselves. But, it should be because your interests and your experience may add up to a great career in insurance. Career Connections is a career awareness program aimed at encouraging young adults and career seekers to pursue o

ne of the many skilled professions available in the insurance industry. To help promote insurance as a stable and vital industry, we also work to enhance the understanding of insurance and explain its role in society. The Career Connections page provides career changers, post secondary students and high school students with information on careers in the insurance industry. It also is a forum for sharing posts related to career events, especially those which Career Connections participates in and hosts. We encourage anyone interested in a career in insurance to like our Page to find information, explore the breadth of career options and learn how to get started on a career path in the property and casualty insurance industry. We also encourage insurance professionals to participate in this community by sharing knowledge and expertise on careers in the industry. Enjoy the group and please let us know how we can maximize its dynamics to benefit your needs. Social Media Policy Statement:

🌟 Meet Jacqueline Newman, our ambassador from Westland Insurance!

🎓 Jacqueline's first job was at Tim Hortons, and insurance wasn't part of the plan. After being laid off during COVID, a friend introduced her to the industry. She took a position to support her family and quickly discovered a passion for the work. She hasn't looked back since.

💼 Now 6 years in, Jacqueline is a Branch Manager at Westland Insurance, leading a team that protects what matters most to their clients. She oversees operations, mentors future leaders, and turns everyday challenges into opportunities to help people feel secure.

✨ What she loves most? The chance to make a real difference. Every day brings something new to learn, whether it's evolving products, client needs, or leadership, and she finds it incredibly rewarding to support her team and grow along the way.

🌱 A few perks stand out: job security, since insurance stays essential even in a tough economy, plus great networking like the 39th Annual Gala for Women in Insurance. And there's always room to grow. Jacqueline was recently accepted into a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) program, with plans to pursue her MBA next.

💭 Fun fact: before moving to Kamloops, Jacqueline lived in a small town and even ran for mayor! Insurance may not have been her original path, but it's become a place where she's found purpose, growth, and community.
