ohawk's Insurance program started in the
early 1970s and is the longest running
insurance program in Ontario. It's a foursemester,
two-year program and co-op
program where students learn for three
semesters then pursue a paid placement
for eight to 12 months before returning
for a final semester.
Who typically enrolls in the Insurance Program?
Mainly high school graduates from southern Ontario, people
exploring a second career or WSIB individuals who want to become
insurance professionals. A percentage are international students
from all over the world who have chosen to attend our insurance
program.
How does the program highlight the broker channel?
The broker channel is highlighted in our insurance essentials
course, our Broker course and within our other insurance courses.
We also have a RIBO course that students can take once they
graduate from the program-at the end of the course, students
write their RIBO exam.
How has the pandemic affected the program?
As a result of the pandemic, all our classes have been virtual and
have seen a significant decrease in international student enrollment.
We've also noticed a general decrease in enrollment by 20-25%.
What new initiatives are you planning?
In 2023, we'll be introducing an analytics course for insurance
students. As analytics is very important in the insurance industry,
the course will help students in risk management and rating.
What's student interest in the broker channel?
Given suppressed enrollment from the pandemic it's difficult to say,
but I'm sure we'll see more interest in the future. We've always had
a good percentage of our students go into the broker channel-
especially with our program offering the RIBO course and students
writing their exam at the end.
