SRS launches new captive scholar programme

Strategic Risk Solutions (SRS) has launched a new programme to provide undergraduate college students learning opportunities in the captive insurance industry.

The Collegiate Captive Scholar Program will start off focusing on underwriting the cost of selected students to attend captive conferences where they will attend educational sessions and meet with captive industry professionals.

The opportunity is open to risk management, insurance, finance and accounting majors.

SRS will launch a pilot of the programme at the Vermont Captive Insurance Association (VCIA) Conference and has selected Christian Ferrara of Appalachian State University, Marissa Cesa of Bowling Green State University and R. Brent Musgrove of Georgia State University to participate in the programme.

Brady Young, CEO of SRS, said: "We are thrilled that we could work this out with VCIA and thank Rich Smith and the association for allowing our initial group of Collegiate Captive Scholars to attend VCIA without any charge.”

“We hope to work out similar arrangements with other captive industry associations, both onshore and offshore, so as many qualified and interested students can get exposure to our industry and the great career opportunities it offers.”

SRS will be contacting other captive associations in the coming weeks to gain their support for the program and sending the application forms to various universities across the US to solicit future participation in the programme.
