About the Programme
About the Programme
In April 2023, the HKFI Think Tank put forth nine recommendations to reinvigorate Hong Kong’s status as an international insurance centre and risk management hub. One of these recommendations was the introduction of an industry-wide management trainee programme to cultivate the local talent pool.
To transform this idea into a tangible manifestation, the HKFI has forged a partnership with the Executive Education of HKU Business School, The University of Hong Kong (hereinafter referred as “Executive Education of HKU Business School”) to offer the Executive Certificate in Insurance Leadership Acceleration Programme. It aims to equip young and middle management of the insurance industry with leadership capabilities and contribute to the long-term growth and success of the insurance sector.
The Programme has received generous financial support from the Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau through its Financial Incentive Scheme (FIS) for Professional Training – Insurance Sector, demonstrating the industry’s recognition of the programme’s value in enhancing talent development and strengthening the insurance sector as a whole.
