OTIP is the employer of choice for many professionals. We offer competitive salaries, excellent benefits, and a people-oriented work environment. We work hard to make OTIP the place where you want to build your career!

OTIP began in 1977 when a small group of teachers came together with the idea that the teaching community's insurance needs could be served better collectively. They began by selling long term disability and life insurance to teacher groups in Ontario. Soon afterward, the teacher affiliates joined to officially form OTIP. 

Today, that modest organization has grown to over 300 employees and provides a full range of group and individual insurance products to not only the education employees of Ontario, but to other union organizations as well. OTIP is goverened by a board of trustees representing each of the four education affiliates in Ontario (AEFO, ETFO, OECTA and OSSTF).  ...

OTIP is all about putting people first – an engaged workforce who love what they do makes for satisfied, loyal members. Aside from offering the most competitive salaries in the industry, excellent benefits and a people-oriented work environment, we keep our team of over 300 employees motivated and connected through frequent town hall meetings, social events, and community involvement. 

OTIP's Social committee organizes a variety of creative events throughout the year that help our employees feel like part of a bigger team. We also make sure to recognize important moments in our employees’ lives and to contribute to worthwhile causes in our communities.  ...
