The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between Insurance Institute of Nepal (IIN) and Skill Shikshya Pvt. Ltd. formalizes the collaboration on the "Foundations of Insurance: Core Skills for New Starters" program, an initiative built to prepare students for the realities of working in the insurance sector, not just the theory of it.
Many graduates enter the job market well-versed in academic concepts but with limited exposure to how the industry actually operates. This program addresses that gap directly, offering practical training, professional-skill development, and structured exposure to the sector, so that students transitioning from education to employment are genuinely ready for the work ahead.
The ceremony was presided over by Dr-Laxmi Kant Paudel, Chief Executive Officer, Insurance Institute of Nepal. The event was also attended by the following dignitaries: Mr. Bikesh Tandukar, Executive – Learning and Development, IIN; Mr. Ganesh Sharma, Executive – Admin and Operations / Company Secretary, IIN; Mr. Pranav Regmi, Organizational Relationship Manager, SkillShikshya Pvt. Ltd.; and Ms. Karisha Sijapati, Administrative Coordinator, SkillShikshya Pvt. Ltd.
Beyond the immediate program, this partnership reflects a broader commitment to industry–academia collaboration, one intended to improve graduate employability over time through ongoing opportunities for internships, placements, and sector-focused learning.
Both institutions view this as a meaningful step toward developing a pipeline of industry-ready professionals for Nepal's insurance sector.
