"I completed a certificate in General Insurance in 2020, thanks to a partial UQPN scholarship that I was awarded and shared with another UQPN member. The certificate improved my proficiency in collecting data for the annual insurance renewal, processing claims, and understanding the unique insurable risks at UQ. It also increased my confidence when responding to complex enquiries. The UQPN has connected me with staff, business areas and processes that I might not otherwise have known, which is incredibly beneficial in my current role. My engagement with the Network has also empowered me to take on new challenges within my paid role, and now as a UQPN committee member, knowing that I can call on the support and expertise of other Network members to assist with these challenges and with my ongoing professional development." Catherine Baldry, Senior Insurance Officer
