The insurance industry has come a long way in breaking away from the stigma that the industry is “old and boring” and is instead an exciting industry full of career options. But despite growing interest from professionals to pursue insurance and risk management careers, the industry continues to struggle to fill open job positions when competing with more “attractive” industries, such as technology and entertainment.
