Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
Lots of on and off the job learning. Start with basic responsibility to help you get to know systems and understand the work you will be doing. These responsibilities begin to build up as you begin to get an understanding of the workplace and the market. Lots of opportunities to learn and take on new challenges.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I very much enjoy my apprenticeship programme as I get lots of opportunities and get to work with lots of different people. The atmosphere at my office is very welcoming and people make you feel part of the team from day one which makes the experience a very enjoyable one
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

So many skills are learnt and developed during the apprenticeship. You will learn lots of new systems and lots about insurance. You will have the chance to develop skills such as team work or presenting in front of groups. The opportunity for growth is a key factor during this 18 month period

4/5
The training provider helped me perform better as it gave me the resources i needed to complete my exams and receive my qualification. The access to revision websites and past papers were a key reason I was able to complete my exams. They also help keep you on track throughout your journey.

There are many extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work. There are constant talks being held for people to attend.

Why?
Great company to work for. Makes you feel part of the team from day one. Offer lots of opportunities to work on different things and with different people. It is a great place to grow your career and learn many new skills that are useful both at work and in everyday life
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Aon?
Prepare for your interviews. Practice answering standard job interview questions at home. Be relaxed and honest in interviews as employers like to pick people they would be happy to work with rather than just the one who is the best at everything. Be yourself and be polite as being nice is very important.
