  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • Day to day varies. I have a huge range of jobs that I am part of. These can be one off projects or more regular client based work, I feel I have great exposure to colleagues of all levels and the opportunity to learn form each of them.

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • The chance to study for a professional qualification has taught me many new skills including self study and motivation. The Job role as a whole has presented many new and exciting opportunities to learn new skills.

  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • To the highest extent I look forward to work each day as it is both rewarding and enjoyable. I have built a true group of friends and feel part of a team. The apprenticeship has opened my eyes to the corperate world and made me want to progress as far as I possibly can.

  • 4. How valued do you feel by Aon?
  • At first I was wary of coming in at the bottom as i had heard the industry frowned upon those with an education below degree level. On the contrary my experience couldnt have been more pleasent. I feel valued and people are actively looking for an excuse to work with myself and those apprentices around me. As they realise we are capable of high quality work

  • 5. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • This is the only area i feel let down. The Structure is there however the executoion can falter this is due to the "Trailblazer" being set up on an ongoing basis, slightly left in the lurch. However this is not entirely Aon's fault i think the relationship with the training provider is poor

  • 6a. How much support do you receive from your training provider?
  • Minimal! As this is a self learn course,there is a hands off approach. I feel the Skills company are a waste of time. Aon should devlop an in house training programme, would be much more efficient. The Skills company is providing no benefit to my scheme what so ever. They need to know the differnece between Full and part-time work...

  • 6b. How much support do you receive from your employer?
  • Lots. Aon provide internal training geared towards my role level and are actively looking for ways to progress my career and knowledge. The buddy/ mentoring system works well and i think has been a benefit to not only myself but all the apprentices.

    8/10

  • 7. How well does your salary/package meet your costs?
  • I feel my pay is a little low compared to other opportunities I have applied for. But I hope that in the future hard work and success will be reflected by pay (I'm told it is!!).

    5/10

  • 8. Are there many opportunities outside of work?
  • There aren't as many as we where lead to believe during our induction. The events that are run are great, I would love to see more opportunities to meet at events with clients and also other apprentices. As i think keeping abreast of my colleagues affairs is important

    5/10

  • 9. Would you recommend Aon to a friend?
  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • They are fully focused on internal development a quality that is imperative to those starting out their carreer


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Aon?
  • Be yourself never shy away from an opportunity. Work with as many people as possible and learn something from everyone. Open mindedness is Key!!
