CII joins forces with skills council
The Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) and the Financial Services Skills Council (FSSC) have joined forces in a move that will see the CII’s life and pensions’ faculty assist the Council.
The FSSC has changed its corporate structure over the past few months and is now more focused on working collaboratively.
As a result, CII board member, Peter Hubbard, will take his place on the FSSC board, providing input on skills needs and ensuring that the views of the different disciplines within the life and pension sector are heard.
CII chief executive officer, Dr Sandy Scott, sees the agreement as an “excellent opportunity” for the Institute to increase its influence and help support and shape future FSSC insurance-related policy.
He explains: “The FSSC acts as a conduit between the industry, government and education on skills-related issues and against the background of an increasingly challenging marketplace such a partnership represents a tremendous opportunity for providers to make themselves heard in Whitehall.”
Last month, the CII launched a schools’ outreach programme aimed at year 12 students.
The initiative involves a board game that illustrates how the risk and insurance industry touches diverse areas of life.
Students play in teams, figuring out how to manage the risks associated with a variety of scenarios, ranging from a chocolate company receiving a badly damaged product shipment, to a super-star’s niece being abducted.
