The Insurance Institute of Ireland (III), which provides insurance education in Ireland, says it has noticed a recent increase in interest in the insurance industry in recent times. Paula Hodson, director of development services at the III says that at careers fairs all over the country, students from all backgrounds – data analysts to accountants and historians – have been approaching the III to find out more about entry paths to the industry. A new apprenticeship scheme in insurance for school leavers is expected to launch in late 2016.
Bullying at work

New research carried out by the National Anti-Bullying Research and Resource Centre has found that bullying is the cause of one in ten dismissals in workplaces in Ireland, and 53% of companies do not have appropriate bullying policies in place. The research looks at profiles and outcomes of 99 work-related cases taken to the Employment Appeals Tribunal under the Unfair Dismissals Acts between June 2013 and September 2015, in which bullying is referenced by claimants.
