Transformation is more than a numbers game; itโs about understanding the "why" behind success. In our latest podcast episode, Nalen Naidoo and Michelle Abrahams discuss a strategic pivot for the Actuarial Society: moving away from only identifying hurdles and towards scaling Success Accelerators. By researching the support systems, mentorship, and networks that help our students thrive, we can replicate those "fillers" for everyone.
Our goal? A profession that truly mirrors the demographics of South Africa๐ฟ๐ฆ
Key Takeaway: We aren't just looking at the barriers; we are building the bridges.
