The Finance and Risk Management Career Conference consists of the following elements:
Financial and risk professionals will speak about their industries, their companies, the different careers within their firms, and the qualifications they typically look for. These presentations help participants understand the career options available in the finance and risk management industries, and the skills that hiring managers are typically looking for when recruiting for entry-level positions.
Kiosks, which run in parallel to the presentations, allow students to interact and discuss opportunities with potential employers. Participating companies include AIMCo, Aon Hewitt, ATB Financial, Freedom 55 Financial, National Home Warranty, Investors Group, and Sun Life Financial.
An expert panel talks about topics surrounding careers in finance and risk management and addresses questions from the audience.
A session provides information on the PRMIA Risk Management Challenge, which is a worldwide case competition that will simulate up-to-date and real-life risk management challenges.
There are networking opportunities during lunchtime.
