The Education and Training Trust
Furthering the education of insurance and financial planning professionals and the general public
The Education and Training Trust of the Chartered Insurance Institute is a registered charity led by an independent Board of Trustees.
The charity aims to advance the education and training of those employed, or pursuing employment, in the insurance and financial planning professions, as well as educating the general public about said professions and their role in society.
The trust achieves this by awarding grants to charitable initiatives that further these objectives, in line with their Grant Giving Policy. The trust supports a number of initiatives to achieve these goals.
The Learning Fund
The Learning Fund was established in 2020, in collaboration with The Insurance Charities, to support insurance and financial planning professionals impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Today, the fund is administered by the CII, and continues to support learners facing economic hardship in continuing their studies.
My Personal Finance Skills (Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award)
The My Personal Finance Skills programme provides free financial education workshops to schools. The module provides young people with important life skills and financial awareness.
Building on the initial success of the programme, the trust awarded a grant for the development of a 12 week financial skills module for inclusion in the Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award scheme.
Insurance Museum
The Insurance Museum will house insurance artifacts and showcase the story of the profession in Britain. The Education and Training Trust awarded a grant to the museum for the development of virtual exhibitions that will raise public awareness of the role of insurance in society.
Future Me
The trust supported the development of this online platform to provide career advice and online learning to current and prospective insurance and financial planning professionals. Future Me is open to anyone who would like to find out more about these professions.
