Starting Out
College career services offices can put students in touch with recruiters from industries that employ risk managers. Recent graduates can also search the Internet for risk manager job listings, as well as visit the Web sites of employers of risk managers, such as corporations, service providers, government agencies, and other public and private organizations. Some risk managers join insurance companies, insurance brokerage firms, or consulting firms that provide risk management services to clients.
Some individuals gain experience and education while working in accounting or personnel departments and later move into risk management positions.
