Apprenticeships

Apprenticeships are more or less the bread and butter for school leavers, this gives you an opportunity to find yourself earning and learning without having to do a degree. 

In insurance, apprenticeships have a great reputation within the industry and can provide an excellent foundation for future job prospects. 

​

Landing an apprenticeship at big insurers and brokers can be vastly beneficial to both the short-term and long-term. A programme with brokers such as Aon, Marsh, Gallagher, WTW, etc. looks incredible on a CV, facilitates high-quality learning and gives you experience at one of the “big dogs.” On the insurer side Zurich have an incredible reputation for their apprenticeships, another apprenticeship scheme worth looking into are the ones offered by Lloyd’s.

​

Do not confine yourself to these companies though, there are dozens of well-established and highly reputable companies that offer prestigious apprenticeships. 

Be sure to frequently be checking the government website for insurance apprenticeships. Most apprenticeships are posted between January and March, so be sure to be on the lookout.

When searching for these apprenticeships make sure you are applying for firms in and around the EC3 region as this is the main hub for global insurance.
