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 one 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:
