Students Attend Actuarial Science Career Day
A group of students recently attended an Actuarial Science Career Day hosted by Northwestern Mutual and Milliman, two major firms in the financial and insurance industries. The event provided an in-depth look at the actuarial profession, offering students valuable insights into career paths that blend mathematics, statistics, and business. During the visit, students had the opportunity to engage with professional actuaries, learn about risk management, and participate in interactive workshops that demonstrated real-world applications of actuarial science. Industry experts shared their experiences, discussed the importance of analytical skills in decision-making, and provided guidance on college programs and certifications needed to become an actuary.
Both Northwestern Mutual and Milliman emphasized the growing demand for actuarial professionals and the rewarding career opportunities in the field. Students left the event inspired, with a deeper understanding of how actuarial science plays a crucial role in shaping financial security for businesses and individuals alike. WLHS continues to encourage students to explore STEM careers through hands-on learning experiences like this, helping them connect classroom knowledge to real-world applications.
