Analyst - Intern, Retirement Review

As an intern, my role involves learning the technical, software and professional skills needed for actuarial work, including weekly training sessions on a variety of concepts. I actively contribute to client projects, applying what I’ve learned to real-world scenarios, whilst actively seeking feedback. I also get exposure to day to day life of a full time actuary and learn about the company, clients and job itself. The internship also includes collaborative workshops focused on excellence and developing role-specific capabilities. Every day brings opportunities to grow and support ongoing client work within the team.

I was trusted with genuine responsibilities from the outset of the internship. I supported live client projects by preparing charts and reports, completing pension calculations, and collaborating with colleagues. My work contributed directly to project outcomes, and I was encouraged to ask questions and take initiative. It felt like a true role in the team, not just an observational experience, which helped build my confidence and develop key skills in a professional setting

Absolutely—this internship has been a real learning curve in the best way. I’ve picked up new technical skills through weekly training sessions, like how to use actuarial software and understand pension calculations. At the same time, I’ve refined my communication and problem-solving abilities by working closely with the team on live client cases. It’s one thing to study the theory, but getting hands-on has really helped everything click into place.

I received a great deal of support and guidance throughout the internship, which made a huge difference to my experience. Regular training sessions helped build core technical knowledge, while buddy's and colleagues were always approachable and happy to explain things or offer feedback. Whether it was walking through a abbreviation or definition, assisting when I had queries or answering questions about calculations, the team created an environment that encouraged learning and growth. Their support helped me feel confident tackling new challenges.

The company culture was welcoming, collaborative, and genuinely focused on development. From day one, the atmosphere encouraged asking questions and sharing ideas, which made it easy to integrate and contribute. Teams were approachable and invested in supporting interns, and there was a strong sense of professionalism paired with a friendly, inclusive vibe. Whether during training sessions or day-to-day client work, everyone was open and communicative, creating a space where learning and teamwork went hand in hand.

I thoroughly enjoy my internship—it’s engaging, dynamic, and rewarding. Each day introduces new challenges and opportunities to learn, whether through structured training or hands-on client work. The supportive and collaborative atmosphere helps me feel confident and motivated. I contribute meaningfully to projects, and my input is valued by the team. This experience not only strengthens my skills but also deepens my understanding of the actuarial profession in a fulfilling and enjoyable way.
