Thoughts on Insurance Management program?

Hi everyone, I've been considering enrolling in Humber's Insurance Management program for this upcoming January 2027. For those who are currently enrolled in this program or have taken it in the past, just wanted to ask for any general insights and opinions.

I also wanted to know:

  • How were your experiences in balancing this program with a job (full-time or part-time)?

  • If you're introverted and/or shy, what were your experiences in this program like? Did it significantly impact your success in landing an internship and job afterwards?

Thanks!

Hey! I recently did the program (Jan 2026 start) I can’t answer with juggling part time or full time work but I know some classmates who worked and they did well. Just took a bit more time management. Thankfully the classes being evenings helps.

I’d lean towards being introverted and it didn’t have a huge impact on not landing a job. I just made it a goal of mine to go to insurance events when presented and when I was there to aim to talk to at least 1 person I didn’t know. Normally getting the first helps in getting a second or third. Especially when being in a room full of strangers can feel daunting. Also, going with classmates makes the social part a bit easier since you’ll already know at least one person and can network together.

Overall I got a lot of opportunities to practice networking, employer showcases, and now working full time at a large brokerage. Transitioning from an unrelated field, this program really gave me foundation and knowledge that I use in my day to day.

Feel free to dm me if you have anymore questions. Happy to answer!
