Insurance Management Associate Programme (iMAP), Class of 2021

"The iMAP programme, catered specially for fresh graduates, provided a good platform for me to build my foundation in insurance knowledge through structured theoretical examinations and allowed me to build practical on-the-job experience at the same time. It was initially tough to juggle both work and studies, but the scheduled tutorials and examinations helped to keep me in check and I quickly found my momentum. 2 years later, I found myself completing the work-study programme with the ACII certification, having made friends with fellow peers in the industry, and garnering practical experience as a member of the actuarial team in my current company. I am also thankful for the opportunity to go on a week-long learning trip with insurance and reinsurance companies in London last year, where I gained valuable insight into the London insurance market through various viewpoints of underwriters, brokers, claim handlers, catastrophe analysts and other roles. Currently, I am continuing to pursue an actuarial fellowship certification and am a valued member of my team. Occasionally, I catch up with my fellow iMAP batchmates (who are currently respectable brokers, underwriters, etc.) and marvel about how far we have come!”

"IESP helped me gain a holistic view of insurance in the most efficient way that one could get. The platform allowed practitioners across different industries to gather at a common place and shared their knowledge generously. On the receiving end, I was grateful and managed to appreciate insurance for what it is. Experiences built up over the years help to strengthen this foundation, helping me to advance in my career as I guide other teams on the company in risk management”

Insurance Management Associate Programme (iMAP), Class of 2022

"iMAP is a unique programme which provides the platform for individuals to gain both working experience and professional certifications. As a fresh graduate still navigating my interests and strengths, I have found this program immensely beneficial. Joining the iMAP programme has definitely accelerated my professional development through the opportunities provided. The opportunity to rotate between various teams has provided me exposure to the brokering function and foster a deep understanding of broking activities and its complexities. As the insurance industry is relatively niche, the programme also provides theoretical learnings through examinations to ease the learning curve. My journey in WTW Health and Benefits segment is undoubtedly filled with growth and learning. I am grateful for the support that WTW extends to young professionals. Their mentorship has not only fostered a safe and encouraging environment for me to develop professionally but has also equipped me with the tools to navigate challenges and seize opportunities effectively. This holistic approach to talent development is what makes my experience at WTW and participation in the iMAP program truly enriching and rewarding."

Insurance Management Associate Programme (iMAP), Class of 2015

"As a fresh graduate back then, I had limited knowledge about the general insurance industry and chanced upon this industry through my application to the iMAP. Looking back, being on the iMAP has certainly been a springboard to my insurance career as it not only provided me with a structured timeline to obtain a professional accreditation and at the same time on the job-training as an insurance broker. iMAP also fosters a network of graduates from the program with a diverse background including different job functions in underwriting, broking, actuarial and claims. During my time as an insurance broker, I had the opportunity to rotate around different teams including the servicing team and the new business team. In addition, I was also granted the opportunity to be seconded to the Malaysia office as part of a new team setup."

"The IESP is a rigorous and thorough programme which ensured I started off my career with the right level of training, and provided a solid foundation from which I built my technical knowledge and client management skills. The ACII qualification allows you to showcase your foundational competence to the world, and the conducive and structured learning environment as well as worldclass lecturers who are themselves experienced practitioners provides mentorship which is unavailable anywhere else. Most importantly, the friendships that I built with my IESP batchmates have lasted my entire career, and the common bond built through the programme ensures we have a professional network no matter where our individual career may take us."
