Poised to achieve the target on raising 5000 professionals for the insurance industry, the Chartered Insurance Institute of Nigeria (CIIN) has marshaled out plans to attract members of the National Youth Service Corps into taking its examinations.
The Director Education, CIIN Ayeni Ebun, told Inspen that an initiative code-named NYSC-CIIN is one of the concepts designed to attract young people into taking the institute's examinations He added that initiative and other steps adopted will help raise the number of professionals in the industry.
"There is a concept we called NYSC- CIIN initiative, which was designed to catch professionals young. Under the initiative, we hope to go to Iyanu Ipaja orientation camp of the NYSC in Lagos and the Sagamu NYSC camp in Ogun State to sell our products to the youth corp members and will organise a programme for them to educate them on insurance and they will be given certificates for attendance.
"We trust that by the time the youth corps members will be finishing with their services, we would have introduced them to insurance and would have some of them enrolled in our examinations."
He noted that the institute will also take the hunt to universities, adding that the drive to catch the young ones at the secondary schools level will also be intensified.
"We are also undertaking student drive in some universities that offer insurance. We called the concept Student Enrollment and Institute Promotion. We are to go to those universities to tell them the importance of insurance. We want them to know the importance of being an insurance professional, which is more important than just acquiring the degree in insurance," he added
