At SCOR, we believe in empowering the next generation of reinsurance professionals to help build a better, more resilient world, which is why we recruit more than 100 interns and apprentices every year in our Paris office. These internships and apprenticeships and be a valuable first step into the industry, but what is it like to interview at one of the top global reinsurers?
The health of our planet and ecosystems are facing unprecedented pressures. During the week of 23 September 2024, our third annual SCOR Sustainability Days offered an opportunity to educate and empower employees to have a positive impact through their work and in their daily lives.
(Re)insurance isn’t sexy. We’re sorry, but it had to be said.
For those on the outside looking in, the industry has yet to shake the reputation of being old fashioned, complex, and boring. Yet behind the scenes this industry offers a dynamic environment with opportunities for professional and personal development. All too often job candidates don’t see this side of the industry – and it is up to us to show them!
SCOR’s mission is to support more resilient societies by understanding and protecting against risks of all kinds. But when it comes to understanding policyholders and their needs, we know that the data can’t always capture the human side of things. The Art and Science of Risk is about understanding the data, but also taking a step back and understanding the people behind those numbers: their needs, their motivations, and their biases.
Actuaries play a crucial role in (re)insurance, with a high demand for their expertise. Yet this role is often little understood and only a relatively small number of individuals get certified in this field.

As the fourth-generation mathematician of the family (my father was an engineer, my grandfather a math professor and researcher, and my great grandfather a physics teacher), I was lucky to discover actuarial studies as soon as I got out of high school. Through this, I found a way to apply my passion for numbers to the analysis of concrete topics, with applications in many fields and offering great job opportunities.
