Acknowledging a different value system will help encourage young talent into the sector
A 28 minute watch.

Vivine Cameron is education partnerships manager at the Chartered Insurance Institute.

Her role gives her a unique view of all facets of the profession – those entering it, recruiting for it, and nurturing its future development.

With the pandemic forcing people’s financial needs up their agenda, coupled with the average adviser not far off retirement age, there has never been a better time to enter this profession, Vivine tells Sam Shaw in this latest piece on the future of advice.

Packed with useful, actionable tips, their conversation covers the breadth of talent, the shifting paradigm in how firms can make themselves attractive to fresh young talent, while reminding firms to not bypass the rich pool of skills available from those 30+.

“Most 19-24 year olds are not interested in just making money. They are interested in job satisfaction, ethics, working towards the greater good. It might sound rose-tinted for some, but they’re interested in equity, fairness and being part of the world at large that enables people to live a better quality of life.”

Vivine offers suggestions on bringing in overseas graduates, some brilliant ideas around reverse mentoring and encourages everyone – industry and those entering it – to think more laterally.
