A

s a broker, the need to maintain
your minimum number of
RIBO hours yearly is a fact of
life. Of course, training equips you with
the technical insight to perform more
effectively or to apply management
strategy concepts at work, which makes
your work worthwhile. And now, IBAO
Members can earn their minimum
number of RIBO hours for the price of...
FREE!

New content providers are reaching
out to us to collaborate. One recent
partnership is with BOXX Insurance, a
cyber insurance company taking flight
in Canada. They've allowed us exclusive
access to their Cyber Risk training
content to develop a custom IBAO
course. This new course helps brokers
articulate how cyber threats work and
what steps their clients can take to
protect themselves.

We've worked hard to build original
courses and find impactful educational
content from leading subject matter
experts for our members, but these
courses were always under the pay-peraccess model.

We have five free courses provided
by Intact on a variety of topics-IT
solutions, cross border selling, business
interruption insurance, privacy
breach, excess & umbrella liability-
fulfilling Technical and Management
requirements.

With the launch of our eLearning
platform we were able to reevaluate how
to routinely source and offer courses.
With My IBAO Learning Path, you can take
courses anytime, start and stop when
you need to, but more importantly go
back into your library to reference the
content at a later date. We've focused
on making courses less of a one-time
learning experience and more of an
ongoing resource.

And Trufla's working with us to launch
a Personal Skills course called Make
the Most of Your Digital Needs, with a
second course in development.
By reaching out to new experts and
established partners to collaborate,
we can deliver engaging and impactful
courses for our members, for free.
More on the way.

CAREER FAIR
IBAO is teaming up with
Humber College to promote
the broker channel as a
career choice.
With a robust number of
business programs available
at Humber, there are many
students completing various
diplomas and certificates
who may be unsure on what
career they'd like to pursue.
The goal is to make
students at Humber
aware of the tremendous
career opportunities in the
insurance industry and how
rewarding becoming a broker
can be. It's an excellent
opportunity for students
to meet brokers and learn
about all the jobs available on
OntarioBrokerJobs.ca.
