Description

The CAS Student Central Summer Program is a free eight-week online program, designed to provide students with technical and professional skills, as well as mentorships and opportunities to network with practicing actuaries.  Originally established in 2020, this program has quickly become one of our most popular interactive professional and educational experiences for students interested in pursuing a career as an actuary.

Summer Program participants will spend approximately 10-15 hours per week, over the course of the eight-week program, and can expect to gain:

• Technical Expertise: Deep dive into a variety of property and casualty actuarial topics including actuarial pricing, reserving, and data visualization. 
• Professional Mentorship: Weekly sessions with experienced actuaries who will guide your learning and growth.
• Professions skills Development: Enhance your resume, interview techniques, and professional communication,
• Real-World Experience: Collaborate in a team-based case competition, addressing a real-life actuarial problem, with prizes for the winning teams. 

Presentations and materials will be in English. Participants who successfully complete the program will be awarded a certificate by the CAS documenting their accomplishment. 

For those that are looking for a flexible schedule and/or have limited capacity to attend live webinars and video conferences over the summer, check out the newly-launched CAS P&C Actuarial Essentials Program - an on-demand learning experience designed to provide a clear, structured introduction to the property and casualty P&C insurance industry and the work of P&C actuaries. This on-demand program is built from the core curriculum of the CAS Student Central Summer Program, and is available year-round

Requirements

Who Should Apply? 

The program is geared towards university students who are interested in gaining actuarial experience and knowledge of the property and casualty insurance industry. It is an exciting development opportunity for students who do not have an internship lined up for the upcoming summer. We welcome applications from across the globe. 

We encourage students at schools without actuarial science programs, as well as those who recently learned about the actuarial career, to apply. This program will also be beneficial to students who attend an actuarial program but have had limited exposure to property and casualty topics or limited access to actuarial internships. 

The CAS is committed to providing universal access to all of our programs. Any accommodation requests can be submitted during the program enrollment process once admissions notifications have been circulated.
