🏙️🏢 ECU RMI Pirates are taking their careers beyond the classroom!
The ECU Gamma Iota Sigma chapter traveled to Charlotte, North Carolina, for the annual Gamma Iota Sigma Conference, a two-day event bringing students and insurance industry professionals together for learning, networking, and career opportunities.
With a career fair featuring 50+ companies, students had the opportunity to connect directly with employers across the insurance industry. And for many Pirates, those conversations turned into something more.
Students submitted their resumes ahead of the conference, and some were contacted by employers before even arriving in Charlotte for interviews for internships and full-time positions. Others landed drop-in interviews after making a strong connection at an employer’s booth.
Beyond the career fair, students could choose from breakout sessions throughout the day, learning about different areas of the insurance industry directly from professionals working in the field.
The conference also featured a keynote from Seth Denson of Wholesure, giving students another opportunity to hear insights from an industry leader.
And we’ve seen firsthand where a conversation at GIS can lead. Last year, Carson Fortune connected with CRC Group at the conference, and that conversation ultimately led to his internship.
That’s the power of showing up, starting conversations and putting yourself in the room. We’re proud to see our Gamma Iota Sigma Pirates building connections, exploring opportunities and making their mark in the insurance industry. 🏴☠️
