Workers' Compensation Awareness Curriculum.
This section provides the foundation for a guest lecturer in any academic setting. Attorneys, judges, mediators, risk managers, claims examiners, and more are afforded opportunities to visit college, community, and other venues. This is the Workers' Compensation Awareness Curriculum (WCAC).
Workers' compensation is a vibrant career field for adjusters, risk managers, actuaries, nurses, physicians, attorneys, and more. It is a career field that is persistently recruiting and growing. Few college classes mention workers' compensation, and it is a challenging concept to teach.
We have designed an overview presentation to introduce your students to the topic. An in-depth overview outline provides a variety of facts and data for consideration and foreshadows what could be covered. It is accessible through the link below. There is a suggested PowerPoint also, geared toward a 60-minute presentation.
We also are familiar with a wide network of workers’ compensation professionals throughout Florida. I can likely connect you with a speaker in your area who would be willing to come guest lecture a class, introduce this topic, and answer questions. I can also appear in any class through technology like Zoom.
We recognize that each semester includes a challenging spectrum of topics to cover. And this topic likely touches many of them such as liability, risk tolerance, insurance, actuarial science, human resources, compliance, and more.

Workers' Compensation College Curriculum (WCCC)
There are few law schools or colleges providing a semester course in workers' compensation. That oversight denies and ignores the systemic import of this field on business management, personal injury legal practice, and a spectrum of careers and vocations. This is a broader topic than the WCAC, but it could be used in some portions of a semester course. This is a suggested outline of critical topics for any semester course.
