‘Life­long learn­ing’ is on every­one’s lips – but where do you start?

The Swiss pri­vate in­sur­ers of­fer in­ter­est­ing ca­reers to qual­i­fied ap­pli­cants and pro­mote mod­ern ways of work­ing.

The im­por­tance of rein­sur­ers to the Swiss econ­o­my grows every year. This is main­ly be­cause Switzer­land of­fers at­trac­tive con­di­tions for lo­cat­ing here.

In­sur­ers are ma­jor in­sti­tu­tion­al in­vestors with a long-term in­vest­ment hori­zon and a pref­er­ence for safe­ty.

Swiss pri­vate in­sur­ers are ma­jor tax­pay­ers and, as such, make a sig­nif­i­cant con­tri­bu­tion to the coun­try's pulic sec­tor.

Pro­fes­sion­al, strong su­per­vi­sion such as in Switzer­land strength­ens the rep­u­ta­tion of the fi­nan­cial cen­tre it su­per­vis­es.

The As­so­ci­a­tion for Pro­fes­sion­al In­sur­ance Ed­u­ca­tion (VBV-AFA) works to pro­mote in­dus­try-wide ba­sic and ad­vanced train­ing in the pri­vate in­sur­ance sec­tor.

Trans­port in­sur­ance pro­tects against risks that car­go and – less com­mon­ly – the means of trans­port it­self might be ex­posed to dur­ing trans­porta­tion.

The Swiss nat­ur­al per­ils pool is a joint en­ter­prise by pri­vate in­sur­ers. The pool is based on twofold sol­i­dar­i­ty.
