Chubb will continue as Australasian insurance sponsor of Young Insurance Professionals (YIPs), a non-profit organisation that assists young professionals throughout Australia and New Zealand to develop their career in the insurance industry.
YIPs run educational workshops and seminars to provide young industry members with a platform to expand their network while also enhancing their business skills and technical expertise.
As YIPs' Australasian insurance sponsor, Chubb will assist YIPs to implement various events in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, Hobart, Darwin, Auckland, Christchurch, and Wellington.
“Chubb is proud of its strong association with YIPs,” said Jarrod Hill, country president for Chubb in Australia and New Zealand. “We started as Australasian sponsors in 2014 and have watched it flourish into an organisation with 8,000 diverse and talented members from a broad cross-section of the insurance industry. The YIPs objective of developing young talent and helping them thrive in this fantastic industry is an excellent fit for Chubb’s entrepreneurial culture that rewards execution and initiative. We look forward to supporting YIPs activities throughout 2018 and beyond.”
James Smorthwaite, president of YIPs in Australia and New Zealand, said they are grateful for Chubb's support over the past four years.
“During this time Chubb has been an invaluable supporter of our mission by providing sponsorship, thought leadership, and industry expertise as our organisation has grown,” Smorthwaite said. “We look forward to delivering on our shared goal of promoting insurance as a career of choice for young professionals and graduates alike.”
