Hi Ladies...I've been a part of the insurance field for over 20 years.
Eager to hear your thoughts around how we can encourage more young women to consider entering this industry post-graduation? My company is committed to empowering women to be a small business owner (https://www.farmersinsurance.fairygodboss.com/) ..but interested to know how other companies are approaching this topic.

Insurance can be a surprisingly broad field, so I think there are many different career paths depending on someone's interests. Some people may enjoy client-facing roles, while others might prefer underwriting, claims, analytics, compliance, technology, or operations. For women entering the industry, having access to people who have already worked through different career stages can be especially valuable. Sometimes practical advice about interviews, changing specialties, negotiating responsibilities, or finding mentors is more useful than generic career advice. I also think communities work best when people share experiences honestly rather than turning every conversation into promotion. For anyone interested in the insurance field in Ukraine, it can also be useful to understand the wider local market and resources such as https://insuranceinukraine.com/

gosh that's a hard one. It definitely helps if they see women in leadership roles out front... that seems to be the biggest hurdle for most companies I've worked for where the majority of leadership is over 40, white and male....

As part of the younger generation, I would wonder what current outreach you're doing and how you're framing your work!
