"Risk Management School 2026" Launches for Students in Turkey

Today, July 10, 2026, the Turkish insurance industry witnessed a major step toward bridging the gap between academia and the professional labor market. The Sigorta Strateji think tank platform, in partnership and with the financial support of leading companies Türkiye Sigorta and Türkiye Hayat Emeklilik, announced the start of registration for the "Risk Management School 2026" project. This program is designed to enhance insurance literacy and prepare talented students to enter the complex world of risk management [1].

Educational Structure and Course Syllabus The Risk Management School 2026 program is an intensive 12-week course comprising a total of 50 hours of specialized training. To ensure equitable access for students across Turkey, all classes will be held online. The syllabus covers a wide range of modern topics, from basic concepts of risk and uncertainty to qualitative and quantitative risk analysis, enterprise risk management, reinsurance, and next-generation risks such as cyber threats and climate change [2].

A distinguishing feature of this course is the presence of prominent academic professors alongside senior executives and experienced professionals from the insurance industry. This combination allows students to learn scientific theories while becoming familiar with real market scenarios and the operational challenges of large insurance companies [1].

Selection Process and Participation Benefits The capacity for this training course in 2026 is limited to 50 participants to maintain the quality of educational interactions. The registration process begins on July 13 and will continue until July 20, 2026. Applicants are evaluated based on strict criteria, including academic background, individual capabilities, and passion for working in the insurance industry. At the end of the course, students who successfully complete their final project based on a real crisis management scenario will receive a valid certificate of completion [2].

Strategic Vision of Türkiye Sigorta As the main sponsor of this initiative, Türkiye Sigorta views the goal of this investment as going beyond a simple training course. In line with its sustainability and social responsibility strategies, the company seeks to strengthen the human infrastructure in Turkey's financial industry. According to the company's managers, promoting risk management knowledge among youth not only benefits the insurance industry but also serves as a factor in strengthening the economic stability of the entire country in the face of potential future crises [3].

This collaboration between industry and academia provides an exceptional opportunity for students to build a network of professional connections and map out their career paths in one of the most dynamic sectors of the Turkish economy. Given the rapid growth of modern insurance technologies, the training provided by this school could be the key to entering vital roles in the coming years [1].
