What are job-relevant topics?
These typically include both technical and non-technical topics. Examples of technical topics include actuarial, mathematical, modeling, legislative and regulatory, legal and other similar skills that are core to the work of actuaries and specific to your role or practice area. Job-relevant topics also include non-technical skills, particularly for those in management roles or aspiring toward management roles, including market and industry trends, business cycles and national and global economic issues. Job-relevant topics will vary from actuary to actuary based on the nature of your job, your area of practice, position and aspirations. For some actuaries, such as those in management roles, non-technical topics will make up the bulk of their job-relevant credit since these topics are critical to their role. For others, non-technical topics are important for future development but shouldn’t comprise the bulk of CPD units they earn.
