Take ownership of your career in 2027. Join iCAN Pulse for practical UK and US insights on career progression, skills and development.
What does career development look like in insurance today, and how can you prepare for your next step in 2027?
As technology, roles and business priorities continue to change, knowing where to focus your career development isn’t always straightforward.
Should your next step involve gaining a qualification, developing new skills, taking on greater responsibility or exploring a different career direction? And how do you make time for development alongside your existing workload?
Join iCAN for our next iCAN Pulse webinar, bringing together insurance professionals and employer perspectives from across the UK and US for a practical conversation on taking greater ownership of your career.
Progress looks different for everyone.
For some, it may mean moving into leadership. For others, it could mean developing deeper technical expertise, gaining broader experience, strengthening influence or finding work that better fits their strengths and ambitions.
This session will explore how to identify what progress means for you, understand the skills and experience you need next, and turn that into a realistic development plan.
What We’ll Explore
The future of career development – How technology, changing roles and evolving business needs are influencing the skills and experience employers value.
Defining your next step – Understanding what career progression means to you, whether that’s promotion, specialist development, a sideways move or broader experience.
Taking ownership of your career – Identifying your strengths, recognising development gaps and building a realistic plan for progression.
Career conversations – How to discuss your ambitions with managers, seek feedback and access development opportunities.
Mentoring and sponsorship – Understanding how professional relationships can support career development and open doors to new opportunities.
UK and US perspectives – Exploring differences in career progression, qualifications, visibility and professional development across both markets.
