Actuaries are ubiquitous across our operations. The wide area of contribution for actuaries at Momentum Group says a lot about the actuarial profession. The underlying reason for the wide sphere of influence is that actuarial development results in individuals that have skills to offer in mathematical, economic, and business areas. Actuarial studies thus ensure a well-rounded skill set. The actuarial profession also remains one that attracts some of the brightest young minds in South Africa.
We walk the journey with our actuarial youth bursary students by providing financial aid, study support and guidance to help them reach their academic and career goals. Candidates are also provided with the opportunity to participate in our vacation work programme, receive mentorship from our employed actuarial students and qualified actuaries and connect with our actuarial community. Applications open on 01 June to 31 August 2025 annually.
Our in-house Actuarial Development Programme equips employed students with the resources and support required to complete their actuarial board exams and work-based learning in pursuit of their professional designation with either ASSA or the IFoA UK.
Our Actuarial Mentorship Programme aims to develop our employed actuarial students with much needed support and advice as they navigate work/life balance and the pursuit of their professional designation with ASSA or the IFOA UK. Our mentors and mentees are upskilled in the art of mentorship and mindfully matched to create space for mutual growth and development, with both parties benefiting from each other's experiences and perspectives.
My aim is to provide guidance, reassurance, and a little insight to my mentee.
I’ve mentored 4 new joiners. The value of 2 minds discussing new ideas and growth opportunities never ceases to amaze me.
I’ve found mentoring to be a valuable and rewarding experience. It feels rewarding to contribute to someone else’s career development.
I had a great mentor when I started my career, and it made a significant impact on kickstarting my career. I have a passion to help others in the same way.
