November 18, 2025
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), in cooperation with the National Agency for Perspective Projects of the Republic of Uzbekistan (NAPP), Gross Insurance, Kafil Sug‘urta and TBC Insurance, conducted a training for students at leading economics universities in Tashkent on the topic “Career in Insurance”.
The main goal of the training was to inspire and prepare students from different universities across the country to understand career paths in the insurance industry by combining theoretical knowledge with practical exercises and direct interaction with industry experts. Professional experts from insurance companies shared their practical experience and showcased to students the potential opportunities for career growth in the insurance sector.
Over the course of two days, students had the opportunity to interact with top managers from insurance companies, give presentations, share their own experience of building a career in the industry, and explore the potential and opportunities for career development in the insurance field. It is important to note that, based on pre- and post-training testing, participants’ knowledge in the field of insurance increased by 25 per cent.
Given the growing importance of the insurance sector in Uzbekistan, the training has strong potential to raise young people’s awareness of career opportunities, develop the necessary skills, and attract a new generation of professionals to the industry.
The training was held from 06–07 November 2025 in the Tashkent region with the participation of 20 students representing 10 leading economics universities of Tashkent.
As a result of the training, participants provided positive feedback, highlighting the relevance of the training topic, the usefulness of the knowledge gained reinforced with examples from international practice, and the engaging and interactive format of the sessions. Test results confirmed that participants’ knowledge in the field of insurance increased by 25 per cent following the training.
Sevil Khalilova, a 4th-year student at Webster University in Tashkent, was very pleased with the “Career in Insurance” camp, noting its clear organization and rapid networking opportunities through games and quizzes. Speakers from TBC Insurance, Gross Insurance, and Kafil Sug‘urta provided a practical view of the market and career opportunities. The most valuable part for her was the teamwork on product development, which demonstrated which skills are currently in demand. The outcome was new knowledge, contacts, and motivation. She expressed her special thanks to UNDP for organizing and supporting the event.
Izatulloeva Sarvinoz, a 4th-year student at Central Asian University, found the “Career in Insurance” camp very useful and practical. Speakers from TBC Insurance, Gross Insurance, and Kafil Sug‘urta explained which roles are in demand and which skills are needed today. Team-based product development and the final mini-game offered real hands-on experience, while networking helped identify potential internship opportunities. By the end of the two days, she had a clear action plan: strengthen her analytical and communication skills, update her CV, and apply to companies in the industry.
The training was organized as part of the UNDP global project “Insurance and Risk Finance Facility in Uzbekistan,” funded by the Government of Germany. The project aims to facilitate the development of Uzbekistan’s insurance market, integrate insurance policy into the country’s economic development program, expand inclusive insurance solutions, strengthen sovereign risk financing and disaster risk management, attract investment into Uzbekistan’s insurance industry. This collaboration paves the way for Uzbekistan to implement cutting-edge insurance solutions, enhancing the country’s economic resilience against external risks.
