AXA XL launches new Broker Academy
AXA XL has launched its 8-week UK Broker Academy, to drive professional development and further collaboration within the UK insurance market. Although solely a digital offering while COVID-19 restrictions remain in force, the UK Broker Academy aims to keep interaction high, with cohorts of 30 young brokers from across the UK on each programme working together virtually and supported by industry experts.
The Academy’s programme has been devised using a design-thinking model to address the specific needs of the global property & casualty and specialty broker market. Its content has been informed through consultation with London Market and UK regional brokers at every stage of development and will be split across three main topic areas: The Best You; The Market; and The Power of Collaboration.
In addition to a mixture of technical components and analysis of issues impacting the commercial insurance industry, the programme will also help attendees to raise their own profiles, develop new skills and gain greater visibility in the market. Beyond the 8-week programme, participants will be offered ongoing mentorship to further support their professional development.
“Learning and development continues to be a major focus for the commercial insurance industry in the UK. We want to play our part in driving forward professional standards and help to equip stakeholders across our industry to be successful whatever the market conditions. The launch of our UK Broker Academy is, we believe, an important step along that path.” - Sean McGovern, CEO, UK & Lloyd’s Market at AXA XL
