We would like to hear from qualified IFoA Members willing to take part in a pilot project for an IFoA buddy system.
Following member feedback, we are undertaking a pilot project to test demand for an IFoA “Buddy System”. Our proposed buddy system would offer Members an opportunity to get in touch with qualified IFoA Members to talk to them about career choices, professional, or other issues.
We are currently running a pilot project for this in the General Insurance, Finance and Investment and Risk areas.
Fellow, Matthew Pearlman said:
“Some of the most rewarding moments of my career have come from being able to help someone else move forward in their own personal journey as an actuary. I am therefore very pleased that the IFoA is setting up a new buddy system and I would encourage you to take part in this, not only to help more junior members of the profession, but also to help in your own personal development.”
If you are a qualified actuary, who would be willing to volunteer to take part in this trial please contact Debbie Atkins, Head of Engagement.
