On June 7, the Association of Bulgarian Insurers (ABI) and the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration of Sofia University "St. Kliment Ohridski” held a joint discussion on: "The world of insurance: education, professions, prospects".

Konstantin Velev, Chairman of the Board of ABI, said during the opening: "Insurance provides many opportunities for development not only of people with economic specialists, but also of a wide range of other specialties. Among these sought-after specialties are risk engineer, responsible actuary, data processing specialists and others. The inclusion of young people in our industry will contribute to its progress, said Konstantin Velev. We are in the process of rapid renewal and involving young people with their openness to technology can only help us. We are ready to receive you as soon as you graduate from university. I hope we arouse your interest in insurance".

Emphasis in the discussion was placed on the professional diversity in insurance, as the participants presented the role and place of different professions in the field.
