The Instituto Tetuán de las Victorias in Madrid was the setting for the second edition of the FECORATHON, a dynamic event that brought together dual vocational training (FP Dual) students in insurance, insurance brokers and representatives of companies from the sector. Organised by FECOR, the event aimed to showcase the many job opportunities in the insurance and brokerage field, combining networking activities, group dynamics and the resolution of practical cases. Start and welcome. At 8:45, accreditation began at the school’s main entrance, where attendees were given a warm welcome by the director, Carmen Fernández, followed by Cristina Gutiérrez, Managing Director of FECOR, and Jesús Jimeno, the federation’s lawyer. During the opening, an overview of the insurance sector was provided, highlighting current changes and challenges. Shared experiences and practical cases. Ignacio Golfe Bonmatí, manager of the López Bonmatí brokerage, opened the series of talks, sharing his experience in the management of natural disasters (the DANA storm). Subsequently, other professionals, such as Helena Iglesias of E2K Global and Enrique Maestro of HIB Seguros, delved into the importance of attracting young talent to the sector. After a break for the group photo and networking during breakfast, attendees organised themselves into groups to take part in the event’s main activity. Divided into classrooms and guided by sector representatives, they worked on identifying and solving problems related to key areas of brokerages, using tools such as the SWOT, the Canvas and the Problem Tree.
