Lincoln Financial Group (NYSE: LNC) announced the beginning of a
two-year data and analytics talent upskilling program with the
Society of Actuaries (SOA), a global professional organization for
actuaries. The SOA will facilitate training for Lincoln employees
through a customized multi-phase educational program focusing on
big data and predictive analytics.
Actuaries are renowned for their strong technical ability,
including solving complex problems. In the new world of big data,
actuaries now have a plethora of data available for analysis. Which
is why it is critical for actuaries to be upskilled in emerging
tools and skills, to efficiently leverage data and drive impactful
business results.
This new, customized upskilling program provides knowledge and
education on programming languages, predictive analytics, data
visualization, and more. Training will be delivered to several
levels of actuarial talent at Lincoln, through a diverse range of
channels including e-learning, virtual and in-person sessions.
“At Lincoln, we recognize the business potential of harnessing
big data and are deeply committed to helping our actuarial talent
grow, thrive and succeed in their careers by providing them access
to the latest tools and techniques needed to grow their
effectiveness,” said Dennis R. Glass, president and CEO of Lincoln
Financial Group. “This unique partnership with the SOA, a true
market leader in actuarial development, demonstrates our company’s
ongoing emphasis on creating differentiation by investing in talent
to meet the changing demands of our business and the digital
economy.”
Lincoln’s investment in this innovative talent upskilling
program, the first offered by the SOA, will enable more than 300
data and analytics professionals across the United States to lead
and contribute to their fullest potential by proactively building a
more adaptive workforce – one where skills grow to meet the
evolving business requirements of big data and predictive analytics
are more effectively applied.
“I’m glad to see the SOA and Lincoln collaborate on this
innovative, content-focused program scaled to meet the growing need
for new knowledge and applications through predictive analytics and
big data.” said Greg Heidrich, SOA executive director. “As the
insurance industry and actuarial skillset evolves, our
volunteer-driven organization is here to help our members, their
employers and society at large benefit from new educational
approaches such as this customized program,” noted Heidrich.
