Have you considered further risk specific studies and qualifications?   

I spoke to Iain Wright, Chair of the Institute of Risk Management, about the work they are doing. It’s fair to say there are plenty of routes for you to take for further development and learning, and the IRM have a wide range of short and longer courses. Risk continues to expand as a discipline and employers are increasingly asking for evidence of further learning outside of your day job, and I’m always a big advocate of further development which can help you get to where you want to be career wise.   

We discussed: 

🔸 An introduction to the Institute of Risk Management (0:29) 

🔸 Why should someone be considering further risk studies, and what are the benefits (3:31) 

🔸 What should someone be considering when deciding which qualification to take (8:25) 

🔸 Are employers increasingly asking for qualified risk professionals (14:48)  

Feel free to share with anyone who may be interested in further risk studies, or to risk leaders who may be looking at considering qualifications for those in their team.
