41: Takeaways from Actuarial Talent Supply and Demand Study

Actuarial Journey with Nemo Ashong

“Business skills” are often brought up as something that actuaries need to have in order to be successful.

The question is: What business skills matter for actuaries?

This was laid out in the Actuarial Talent: Supply and Demand Study that was performed by the Economist Intelligence Unit and commissioned by the Society of Actuaries (SOA), Casualty Actuarial Society (CAS), and Canadian Institute of Actuaries.

During this episode, I share some of the takeaways I gathered from reading the report and discuss how you can apply them on your actuarial journey going forward.
