Take into account the insurance industry’s ongoing talent crunch and now may just be a great time to pick up some leadership training.

With thousands of insurance executives nearing retirement age in the next 5 to 10 years, there will be plenty of insurance company leadership openings for those ambitious and qualified enough to fill them.

This spring hosts several leadership development opportunities on the calendar.

The Institutes, a provider of risk management and property-casualty insurance education, will offer its Institutes’ Executive Education at the University of Virginia Darden School of Business in Charlottesville, Virginia.

The intensive, five-day program is tailored to the needs of senior leaders who plan and formulate major strategic objectives throughout their organizations and develop the competencies and resources to achieve them.
