Overview

Be a part of an award-winning student competition, now in its 9th year. The Risk Management Challenge, a competition of the PRMIA Institute, is a case competition that empowers undergraduate and graduate students by taking them beyond the classroom and giving them exposure to real-world business situations. The Challenge offers students the opportunity to apply the concepts they have learned and showcase their knowledge, critical thinking skills, leadership, and presentation abilities. The 2023 Challenge will be conducted virtually to maximize participation for students globally.

Students say one of the highlights of their experience is the chance to grow their professional network and gain insight into the risk industry as they meet with students, faculty, and risk leaders from around the world. For additional information about the competition and to learn more about the rules and structure, view the Program Handbook and two sample case studies: Example 1 and Example 2.
