This coming March the 30th, the insurance sector will hold the first insurance boot-camp in Spain with the support of Generali. UP! boot-camp will allow companies in the sector to connect with the best university and post-university talent, with the aim of introducing them into the world of work.

As reported by Generali, the registration period UP! boot-camp will remain open until February 24, through the web up.inese.es. A competition in which, as they explain, 200 university or postgraduate students, short-career professionals and unemployed with a university degree, all of them under 30, will have to devise - in just one day - solutions that respond to the challenges raised by the collaborating insurers.

In this way, the participants, who will work in multidisciplinary teams under the tutelage of expert mentors applying the Design Thinking methodology, will be able to earn individual awards -elected by the companies themselves, who offer scholarships, courses and access to programs for young talents and coaching, all of them related to job opportunities and talent recruitment- as groups, which will be decided by a special jury in charge of selecting the winning group, which will be awarded with a trip to London to discover the most innovative and disruptive business ecosystem and experts of the insurance sector.

According to Alberto Ogando, Director of Human Resources of Generali Spain "with this initiative we want to encourage students to discover the insurance world, knowing first-hand its innovative character and its ability to offer interesting professional opportunities. For this we will pose challenges similar to those we face every day so they can solve them in a creative way. In addition, for Generali is a way to get in touch with these young talents who have a lot to contribute to organizations."

The process of UP! boot-camp

The operation of UP! it's simple. First, the competition receives the challenges posed by insurers. Also, after the due registration of the interested parties, the participants will select their favorite challenges and send their CVs. From that moment, the selection process begins, through telephone interviews, to choose the participants of the boot-camp.

After that, at the beginning of the event, those selected receive training in Design Thinking and, later, together with the help of experts who act as mentors, they work in groups to develop projects that solve the challenges.

Finally, the insurance companies select the finalist groups, which must present their projects to the jury, and the winners of the individual prizes.
