Beneva, GFT and Guidewire invest in the next generation of insurance professionals
In Autumn 2023, an ambitious initiative will be launched: a Guidewire Cloud Platform sandbox environment will be set up to train Cégep de Sainte-Foy students on indemnity courses.
A promising collaboration
This collaboration promises to transform the future of these young students by immersing them in a real-life, modern insurance environment, using Guidewire as the technology solution.
GFT, Beneva, and Guidewire, seasoned players in the insurance market, joined forces to bring this innovative project to life. A common vision was shared: to foster student development and promote the expertise needed to meet the demands of an ever-changing industry.
"At GFT, we believe in the power of innovation and partnerships to shape a promising future. By investing in the training and development of Cégep de Sainte-Foy students, we are paving the way for a new generation of insurance experts, ready to meet the challenges of tomorrow," says Frédéric Renaud, Executive Vice-President at GFT.
Joining forces to train future insurance experts
The goal of this project is to teach students how a modern insurance system like Guidewire works, enabling them to progress faster and quickly understand the environment in which they may be working upon graduation.
According to Nathalie Larose, Executive Director of Cégep de Sainte-Foy, "Thanks to this initiative, students at Cégep de Sainte-Foy will benefit from exceptional training. They will be able to explore the real-life operation of an actual insurance system put in place by more than 540 insurers around the world, including many of Canada’s leading insurance companies. This immersion in the Guidewire environment will enable them to acquire invaluable skills that they can put into practice as soon as they enter the job market."
"This collaboration will enable insurers in the province of Quebec to overcome the skills shortage and hire future experts who will already have practical knowledge and experience. They will be able to work with this solution to support their day-to-day work," explains Éric Marcoux, Vice-President, Solutions Optimization and Property & Casualty Insurance at Beneva.
This union between education and the professional world paves the way for a promising future for the insurance industry in Quebec. By investing in the next generation of workers, Beneva, GFT, and Guidewire, demonstrate their commitment to developing an adaptable, skilled workforce capable of meeting the challenges of the future.
