Attendees will learn about an innovative study from the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (IFA) and Society of Actuaries’ (SOA) highlighting comparison of the SOA Competency Framework with the IFA Work Based Skills which seeks to identify a common skill set at credentialing and one-three years post credentialing based on competencies rather than technical knowledge. This is the first time these two large actuarial educators have sought to identify and compare, in terms of competencies, the output of the two education programs. The third speaker will discuss research that focused on understanding of how Australian actuarial graduates perceive the quality of their education after some period of work experience.
